I have terrible side-effects to everything - caffeine, aspirin, etc. I lost the ability to read from a half-dose of OTC "Comtrex" - because the Benedryl in the formula, in combination with the rest of the formula, started shutting down my brain. (Lips and tongue went numb, too - fortunately, it was all temporary...less than 20 minutes)
Percocet dries out all my mucous membranes.
Even sugar doesn't give me a buzz - I fall asleep.
New FDA regulations about drugs? Just another reason for my pharmacist friend Proko to look at me and cackle. "Let's see what happens NOW!"
Percocet is the prettiest and bestest thing in the world.
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.
I'm surprised at how many rules-followers I know, because I cheerfully disregard the OTC label for everything except Tylenol. (Well, only when I need to. When 1 Zyrtec works, then I don't need to exceed the label's limit of 1.)
My Ex BIL died from an accidental overdose of Tylenol.
I do admit I rarely follow suggested dosages, but I so very rarely use anything in the first place.
I decided to go the cocktail dress route. Dark purple jersey with a beaded waist detail.
It's gorgeous! You always have the BEST stuff. My high school reunion is next week and I'm still dithering about what to wear.

Let slip the BOOBS OF WAR!!! They will never know what hit them.
I always follow the instructions - when I bother to take OTC meds, that is. DW gets frustrated with my lack of OTCness. I guess I just wasn't raised that way, so now it's not a habit.

Har. I have this awesome dress and jacket combo (shiny red raw silk), but the dress has a high neckline. I've been trying to find someone to fix it. I might just wear the jacket with black pants and a boob-y top.

It makes me itchy, but I DON'T CARE.

This. When I figured out prescription Motrin was essentially just 800 mgs, I knew I could take 4 ibuprofen for a really bad tooth or whatever.
Barb, LOVE the dress. I'm sure you'll be smokin' in it.
I have no real painkiller preference, except that codeine makes me feel all warm and fuzzy and sleeeeeepy.
