I once went to take two Unisom, because I really needed to get knocked out pretty quick as I was wide awake and needed to wake up in 5 hours at that point.

After a few moments, I had to think about what I just did. I remembered what I saw right after I took a few gulps of water.
I swallowed 2 NoDoz.

My genius decision?
Take 2 Unisom, taking extra care to make sure it was the blue gelcaps.

My dreams were bizarre and felt so surreal that night.
:D

uhhhhh those 50mg diphenhydramine gelcaps. Benedryl takes like 1hour or more to make me sleepy, and ithas a half life of 9hours or so. That is such a bad idea.

Not to mention the NoDoZ. That sounds like it was a Gooood day. :)

Ah hell...typical cop...thinks the laws don't apply to him. :p

For some odd reason, I suspect od'ing on normal cough drops isn't likely to bring any felony charges...nor hurt you much.

Usually the warning is for liver damage. I sure once isn't too bad, just don't make a habit out of it. Might be hard to control now you have a taste for it though.

Muscle relaxers are fun. I had those when my back was messed up. Doc told me if I take one, not to drive and just take it easy. They were these tiny little pills and I figured well, I'll take a half a one just in case they're as strong as he sais. Cut the tiny little pill in half and laid down on the floor and watched tv for two hours. Made me feel kinda tired and my muscles felt the same way too. Got up to get a drink and walked into my kitchen and then next thing I know I'm waking up on the floor of the kitchen and my shoulder blade is killing me. Don't know what I hit when I went down but I never saw it coming.

I took Nyquil and Tylenol at the same time once. I didn't realize you were supposed to avoid taking multiple products with acetaminophen.

10mg menthol. Oddly enough, the recommended dosage (up to one every 2 hours) is the same for the weaksauce cough drops that only have 5.6mg each. Weird.

hmm wikipedia says

Currently no reported nutrient or herb interactions involve menthol. (−)-Menthol has low toxicity: Oral (rat) LD50: 3300 mg/kg; Skin (rabbit) LD50: 15800 mg/kg.

lol.

so you'd need 330 cough drops to have a 50% chance at killing a 1kg rat ( that's a bigass rat )

Eh? I get a cold maybe once a year..or every two years. I don't think it's going to be a problem. :p

Cough drops are not a drug. I used to suck dick for coke. Now that's an addiction. You ever suck some dick for cough drops?

Some antihistamines make me horny.
25mg of diphenhydramine makes everything feel softer :D

My friend discovered an interesting mixture when he had a really bad cold.
-quarter glass of buckleys, the kind with dextromethorphan
-2 ounces of vodka
-fill the rest with straight lemon juice (no extra water)

It's probably bad for the liver, but it sure works.

I had a friend that had a brass belt buckle that was a 4 inch version of that. Then he had to make a new one when the cops took it away when he got arrested. It was all good though because by that time it they were LEMON 714. I once saw about 50K of those in some guys trunk in a garbage bag at a local park known for drug use back in the 70s. They were one of the all time greatest panty removers. Talk about a lack of inhibitions.
