Benadryl/cat allergies - brain damage?

Posted by AMD on December 28, 2005, at 9:17:23

My girlfriend just brought her cat into the house and immediately I began itching, sneezing, my eyes watering up. The cat also scratched me and my arm welted up.
Now I'm worried that such an extreme allergic reaction might cause me brain damage. Is this possible? I've read that allergies cause cognitive decline. True? I'm a bit freaked. I've finally stablized my mood and I don't want to introduce any factors to upset that.
Related: last night I took Benadryl to cope with the cat. It knocked me out, and this morning I'm still tired and a bit zonked out. Did I do permanent damage and can I expect this feeling to go away. Cognitive damage?
For the record, I'm taking Celexa (and SSRI) and Lamictal (anticonvulsant).
Let me know if I'm needlessly freaking and whether I can expect my mood and mind to return once the medicine has worn off.
Thanks,
amd
