Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

na-PROX-en

I say it that way because of the full name of the drug, which is Naproxen sodium

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

naproxen and naprosen?

It's "Naprosyn," with a "y," not an "e," which is the brand name of naproxen.

I think Naproxen is the generic and Naprosen is the brand name?

I always mess that up.

Cap'n Crunch: (whom I just discovered has a first name- Horatio) < /random>

I chose my dress for the RITA ceremony this year. Since I have no official function as either a nominee or presenter, I decided to go the cocktail dress route. Dark purple jersey with a beaded waist detail.

I fear I may look like a giant eggplant, but that can't be helped. At least I have killer shoes to go with.

Advil doesn't do shit for my pain, but two extra strength tylenol, and I'm good to go.

In this, Vortex and I are complete opposites. As far as I'm concerned, Tylenol is just a cruel joke.

Because I know a ton of people who REFUSE to ever take more of any OTC drug than the bottle says, even when I point out that when the same drug is prescribed, the dose is 2x that amount. Like ibuprofen.

Huh. That's not my experience. Or my practice, with anything but Tylenol.

I stick to the amount of Tylenol that the bottle says, because I had a friend in high school who ended up in the hospital for a week and nearly needed a liver transplant from too much Tylenol. (Well, too much Tylenol combined with too much alcohol. There were rumors that he was trying to commit suicide, but he says that he was just drunk and couldn't keep track of how many pills he'd taken.)

For most other drugs, though, I look up what the prescription dosage is and I won't go higher than that. With NSAIDS, I'll take way more than the bottle says. The only other OTC drugs that I take are allergy and cold medicines, and those tend to put me to sleep even at half the recommended dose, so I won't go much higher.
