These would be real Sudafeds, or the shitty non-metherrific kind?
Neighbor, please. I only buy the real, behind the counter, metherrific kind.
Good call. I've been taking the shitty kind (I got them at the school store, which is not teeming with variety) and they're basically worthless.
The non-meth version of meth-based medications usually make me feel even worse.
That's called withdrawal, Adam. Try to wean yourself onto codeine.
Allegra for everyone!*
*Yes, they paid me.
7: Because it works and doesn't make me sleepy.
I haven't found that it works. Maybe it does, but if so it works so much worse than the metherrific kind that I don't even notice.
But if it works for you, of course, rock on.
We should be able to buy Tylenol 3 over the counter.
For what values of "we" and "should"?
The reason they don't sell Tylenol 3 OTC is because people would try to take enough to get a codeine buzz and wreck their livers with the huge doses of Tylenol.
But not in the States? I confess I was unaware.
You can buy lots of drugs in Canada. I'm told.
You can buy it in Canada.
You go to Mexico, you can buy way better. A single instance of taking 10 or 15 Tylenols at once can cause serious permanent liver damage. I personally think you should be able to buy whatever sort of drugs you want, but that's what I take to be the FDA's reasoning, anyhow.
You can also buy over the counter muscle relaxants.
I'm taking pseudoephedrine, claritin, methocarbamol, vicodin, and a big pink pill that says "MOVA." Those must cancel each other out, because they're not doing anything for me.
muscle relaxants
You know, a lot of people I run into say "muscle relaxers" and it just sounds wrong to me.
19: Fuck, I didn't know that while I was there, or I would have stocked up. I love those fucking things.
Maybe I'll try to smuggle a bunch back home when I go clean out my office this summer.
OT: I've just discovered I'm homeless as of 1 July. Anyone have a home I can borrow? I'm very neat.
One of my wives swears by Neurophen +, which she bought boxes of while we were in the UK. It's ibuprofen with codeine. Wonderful stuff. I believe it's available in Canada, as well.
21: Why yes, I'd love some. Single malt and old enough to marry in Mississippi, please.
25: Where should this home be located?
27: Thanks. I'll consider it. Do I have to feed the fish? I can handle that.
28: Really, at this point, I'll take what I can get. Are you making an offer?
Not necessarily, but I'll see what I can do. Any preferences at all?
Charlottesville. Or DC. Hawaii's nice this time of year, I hear.
29: Nah, PK likes to feed the fish. You can help if you like, though.
14: It's actually possible to separate the acetaminophen from the codeine and then mostly ingest the latter. Or so I hear.
Wait, I spelled "ben, don't be an asshole" incorrectly.
34: !!!!!!
Anyway, Koi are vegetarian.
I'm a vegetarian, too. Can I just live in the pond?
Allegra for everyone!*
No. Unless the pills I've been taking are actually pollen, WHICH I DOUBT, it's done nothing for me except possibly make my symptoms worse. Allegra for thee, but not for me. On the upside, "fexofenadine" alliterates with a common curse word.
38: You can if you want, but it's a li'l slimy sometimes. Really, the tv/guest room is nice. It even has its own bathroom.
37: not entirely, but as long as he kept moving, there'd be little danger
Antihistamines stun the bejeezus out of me. I nearly drove off a cliff (literally) the first time I took Actifed. It's non-drowsy or nothing for me (yay, Claritin!)
39: Your great-great-great-great-great grandmother fexofenadined me last night, IYKWIM; AITYD.
You can if you want, but it's a li'l slimy sometimes.
At the Mineshaft.
Be careful of taking too much pseudephedrine...not good for your heart.
Hey Becks, could #44 be related to the mini-possible-stroke?
45: Possibly, as either cause or effect.
Post says she's been taking these for about a week, but the blurry vision was a few weeks ago.
47: Yeah, but was she ODing on the pseudoephedrine because she couldn't see she was taking the wrong pill?
I'm not going to play internet MD, this is all just speculation (which docs do all the time anyway). What I do know about mini-strokes after my crash course is that they can be quite subtle in what they affect, and I know damned well from personal experience that pseudoephedrine raises BP and can also cause arrhythmias, both of which are correlated with strokes.
