Friends, be careful if you take MucinexDM.

It's got 30mg of Dextromethorphan and 600mg of Guaifenesin. TRIP CITY.

I took one a day for four days, and I was laid the fuck out.

I could breathe, but that was about it.

Getting out of bed was a serious negotiation.

I went to my aunt's seder and had trouble reading the Haggadah aloud.This shit is

Why would you take Mucinex before reading the Haggadah? I thought, you know, the phlegm would, uh. Help.

Not if you're reading it in English. ;)

Not even going to do a cheesey, Fiddler On The Roof accent? FOR SHAME!

Noted. But I remember when that stuff was still prescription based, my doc was really hesitant to prescribe it unless someone had really awful pneumonia or something. Because, as he said, he's taken it himself and "that stuff is heavy duty!!"

Then again, I'm not one to talk - Zyrtec D is too much for my system!

Dextromethorphan is a hell of a drug. I pretty much refuse to take it. That and pseudoephedrine. Which makes having coughs and colds really suck, but they suck more if I take that shit because I just wind up tripping out.

Funny, I can't say I've tried that particular variety, but when the gunge gets the better of me I find that pseudoephedrine-containing meds seems to help get it out without the usual side effects (or at least none noticeable above the usual fug of omgsinuscongestion). Maybe I've just got a strong constitution.
