This month I got my worst cold in years. I was ready to rip out my throat it hurt so much. Then I remembered my hubs best idea. As someone mentioned, honey and lemon in hot tea. I drank it non-stop until the throat was better. And I took OTC sleep and cough meds to make it through the night.

Quoth Panacea View PostThat's nothing. One of the most commonly prescribed narcotics used to be Darvocet (proproxypene and apap). The base acetaminophen dose in ONE capsule wasss 650mg.
APAP == Acetaminophen == Tylenol == Paracetemol == Panadol.
(Yes: so many names for the same drug. Add to that the fact that it's in a lot of cold & flu medications....)
(.... and that an overdose can destroy your liver ....)Seshat's self-help guide:
1. Would you rather be right, or get the result you want?
2. If you're consistently getting results you don't want, change what you do.
3. Deal with the situation you have now, however it occurred.
4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.

Quoth Bardmaiden View PostAcetaminophen and Tylenol I've only heard when I've been in the states. Panadol as a brand name but usually referred to as Paracetamol in the UK. Products with Paracetamol in have warnings on the box refering to it as such too, rather than a brand name for the drug and are limited in amount sold (32 I think, usually in boxes of 16).The best professors are mad scientists! -Zoom

Buying OTC meds in bulk is common in the US at warehouse stores. Not only that, but until last year you could buy them with your left over FSA money so you didn't lose it to Uncle Sam. There are people with years worth supplies of lots of otc meds.They say that God only gives us what we can handle. Apparently, God thinks I'm a bad ass.
