this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

So if someone accidentally took 2 claratin D a few hours apart, how likely would they be to die or otherwise have unpleasant things happen?

Your head should have already burst into flame....

No -- you'll be fine. Like Robin said, drink a lot of water. Lay off the caffeine. You'll probably have a very very very dry nose/sinuses/etc.

Was it the 24-hour claritin D, or the 12-hour?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Cool, I can do all that, except for maybe the caffeine thing, since I already had a venti this morning.

eta: the 12 hour Claratin D.

Oh, I just meant no *more* caffeine.

Also, two 12-hour pills are way better than two 24-hour pills. Because two 12s equals one 24; and (follow the logic here) the 24-hour is a safe dosage (by virtue of the fact that it's available to consumers).

So, you're good. And probably allergy-free.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Am I crazy that I figure doubling up any OTC drug one time is pretty much OK? Am I going to wake up dead one of these days?

You'll probably just wake up in a coma.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I think Perkins should email her extra 12-hours of allergy free-ness to me. I have no Claratin at my desk, and much dust.

I could use the sleep.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Maybe you should jot down the name of your next of kin on a post-it next to your bed. Just in case.

I do it all the time with pain relievers, but I try not to with other drugs. I don't know why I make the distinction, but I do.

I don't think you wake up if you are dead.

So I've got a bunch of professionals running around going "it just IS" in my response to crazy wrong person. I don't know where she's getting her info which is making it hard to tell her she's wrong. And she's NOT an undergrad. Forking professor.

And there is a bird hovering outside my window, staring in. While this is cool, it is also a little odd.
