Hello, ive taken ambien irregularly over the past 10 years and am worried about its long term affects on my brain (dementia, etc) would taking a gaba supplement help in any way? or is there any drug/supplement that would help protect my brain from

Other options: Not enough evidence on this. If you take it very rarely, i wouldn’t be greatly concerned. If it is often do consider working more on the many non-drug techniques. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Sleep Deprivation, progressive relaxation, listening to Yoga Nidra, all are effective and have the additional benefit of improving brain function
