Not that this matters to anyone....
I suddenly remember why i stopped taking cold medicine...
I always have cold medicine on hand (rather in stock) at my apartment in-case of "emergency" or in-case i have a sick friend over or in need of medication...
But i notice that i rarely use it on myself... i will always choose homeopathic and organic remedies over the "i can't pronounce the ingredients" medicine.... and i'm also always open to riding it out!
But this time i was just tired of the sore throat, the sniffles, and the deafness! so i figured that even though i am starting to feel better, i could BOOST my chances of getting healthy...
BIG MISTAKE! haha
Took two little NyQuil gel-caps last night before bed... and i thought, wow i'll also get a good nights sleep. One this is true... the stuff knocked me out.... Problem was that at 7am when it was time to get up... it was still working! I could barely lift my arm to turn off my alarm let alone my head!
I stayed in bed longer than i should have and then everything felt like it was going in slow motion.... though it was just me.
I still forced myself to go to work... But i realize now that i never noticed the effects before cuz i usually only take the stuff when i'm really sick (meaning i spend the day in bed anyhow)!
The funny thing about it is that i don't think the medicine worked.
So now i am sniffly, deaf, and coughing (though my throat has been better lately) AND i'm high!
i caught myself staring at my cabinets and giggling saying "Ah, NyQuil".
Reminds me of the time i had some bad allergies back at Hofstra... so i took some allergy medication and when i got to my Graphic Design class it felt like the world was tilting the wrong way... though i think i was just leaning and not realizing it.... and yes i excused myself from class to sleep it off! haha.
*shakes head* I got some Tea to combat the sleepy affects, but now i'm just hyper, giggly, and still cloudy...
I must say... its an interesting experience... but in all seriousness, NOTE TO SELF, only medicate on the weekends!!
