They lie.

And that bit about working for 24 hours? They lie about that, too.

Also note that Nice 'N' Soft toilet paper isn't as nice 'n' soft as Puffs Plus. Not on a nose, anyway.

'choo.

3. Same is true for "non-drowsy" Dramamine.

x( I found that out the hard way several years ago...took some before going on a whale-watching trip for school, and while I was OK while we were on the boat, that medicine completely knocked me on my ass pretty much as soon as we got back on the bus. I was out like a light the whole way home. :eyes:

:hug: Hope you feel better soon, Oedi. :pals:

11. Well, if you want allergy meds that WILL knock you out

you'll want to get some Benedryl or the store brand. You know how it says "take once every 4-6 hours"? They work for about 8-16 hours on me, including the drowsiness.

I have yet to find a single "non-drowsy formula" allergy med that actually works or doesn't affect my wakefullness in some detrimental way. If I didn't get allergy attacks during the day (like, at work) I'd just take the knockout stuff and suffer through grogginess the following day
