Buyer Beware
This morning as I semi woke up fuzzy from not getting good sleep, thanks to Restless Leg Syndrome, I also popped a nasal & Sinus decongestant. Living with a man who has miserable allergies I have a plethora of nasal & sinus pills. Pills in all shapes, sizes and colors. Ones that are drowsy. Some that are not. Some that are useless some that are FUCKING TERRIBLE.In my hazzy morning achey leg induced fuzz I chose to take CVS brand Lorata.Dine D Extended Release Tablets: Non drowsy/24 hour!! I don't remember thinking about too much before I took this pill other then A) I don't want to pass out at my desk B) Please let this make my sinus pressure go away. I did NOT, however, think deeply about the fact that being a 24 hour time release pill, should something go hay wire, I will feel it for a God awful long time.
So how do I feel? I feel like a crack head that has been awake for a week. I feel like I want to pass out and throw up at the same time. I feel dizzy and speedy and crappy but not stuffy. At this point, however, I'd rather have the sinus pressure. I'm 10 hours in to my drug induced illness.
I spoke with Eric on the phone once I realized why I felt so shitty. After a few minutes describing the pill to him he said: "Yea. Remember that week I couldn't sleep, I was tense, and felt really bad? It was cuz I took those." GREAT! Apparently if you have allergies, and you're taking this medicine for a few days, those crack head junkie symptoms subside and you feel normal again. Personally if I had to do this AGAIN tomorrow you'd have to commit me.

IN case anyone gives a hoot -- I'm feeling better today. Well just not all doped up.
Sounds crappy. I hate that drug induced upity ness. It really is not a fun fealing. Were you able to sleep last night?
Not really. I was up every few hours with a weird cough.
Ok it's 5pm and I just want to say that I feel SO MUCH BETTER. No more wierd side effects.
