allergic to allergy medicine...
i've had an allergic reaction to something in the air.. not sure what the heck it is, but it's been going on for at least a week now. it's really annoying, all the sneezing, runny nose and watery eyes and stuff..
anyway, i thought i'd get some medicine last night because it was particularly bothersome and i needed to sleep to get to work early in the morning. so i went to sav-on, bought myself some benadryl. i read the instructions and it said to take 1 to 2 for adults. as is my custom, i took 2.
almost immediately my bottom lip formed a huge pulsating bump that kinda looked like a cold sore, but wasn't. it eventually went away, so i didn't think much of it. the bottle said it may cause drowsiness so i was excited for a well-rested night.
little did i know the bottle also said that it may cause excitability. i donno what the crap that means, but i'm assuming that me being up all last night tossing and turning and wanting to crawl out of my skin because i was so dap dap hae was it. i was so sleepy that i was crying, but i still could not fall asleep.
needless to say, i had to call in sick this morning. i doubted that i could make it through the day, let alone freakin drive to work for an hour. i was so out of it i literally slept ALL day. i woke up for an hour from like 3-4, did some reading for work then fell back asleep and didn't get out of bed until about 7.
never again am i taking any stupid allergy medicine. i will live with the annoyance, thank you very much.
jae, you wanna buy my benadryl off me? it was freakin $15! xP i'll give it to you for $10. x)

i've got about 4 boxes of benadryl at home and a box at work. -_-;
but did you sneeze after taking it?
'cause if you stopped, then it means that the side effects got to you, not that you were allergic to the medicine itself.
what kind did you buy anyways? none of my benadryl stuff was worth more than 10 bucks. xP
yea, i stopped sneezing. but seriously the side affects are not worth it.
i think the big pulsating bump on my lip was an allergic reaction. that's happened to me only once before in my life.
i bought the pills. sigh, what am i gonna do with all the freakin benadryl?
