Zombies and Cold Meds

[velocityofsound]

The OTC flu medication I took an hour or so ago is seriously messing with me. I am, as a general rule, not sensitive to drugs. I've been on almost every single fun painkiller before (not at the same time, tyvm) and I've never felt this light-headed and woozy, it feels like someone stuffed my brain cavity with cotton balls. Either I'm going to end

Disinfectant? I don't think I want to know.

Which med is it?

I find that nothing works for me. My drug tolerance is high, my pain tolerance is low, sadly. I just suck it up when I get sick, which, honestly, isn't often because I've stuffed my body so full of preservatives over the years.

Some Sudafed knock-off. I had to buy it at the counter.

Try not to add in alcohol because then you're going down fast!

I like those fizzy Vitamin C drinks.

When I start feeling sick I drink literally a gallon of OJ within 12 hours, and medicate medicate medicate. I actually started feeling lousy a few weeks ago and took some SMZs with the OJ and was solid, but you'd have to get a prescription for those.

Ugh, I hate going to the doctor. :/ I'm going to try and drink a lot of good fluids though.

Oh no, hope you feel better soon. Whenever I think I'm getting sick I take a Berocca (I'm not sure if you have it in the US), but it's basically B + C vitamins with Zn and Mg (both good for the immune system). I'd swear by it.

I have never heard of it, but maybe we have something close, I know there are vitamin packs you can buy. :)

Yeah, I think I tried to look for it when I was in the US and couldn't find it. But any B/C vitamin thing is good, and Mg and Zn are good too.
