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?
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.
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.
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.

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.
