Allergy people: Allegra is now over-the-counter. Allegra rocks my socks, and I am willing to pay brand-name price for it until CVS has a store brand (and they might already; I don't know, because I haven't gone to get any yet).
Seldane, from way back in the 1980s, was the kick-ass best antihistamine EVER. And they took that shit off the market because it was making people's hearts kind of...stop. Bah.
And you are totally right about the acupuncture. I'm calling my buddy whose practice is a block and a half from my house. She came several times last year while I was sick, and I trust her completely.
I need to call the acupuncturist about my migraines. I wonder if she could also fix my migraines.
There was a headache drug called Cope that I would have bought heavily if I'd known it was going to pulled. I can't find any references to it, because I'd like to see what it's active ingredient was. Darned stupid common words being used as names.
My migraine drug (Midrin) recently stopped being manufactured because it is so old that it didn't actually go through the testing-->approval process that the FDA has now, so suddenly the FDA was all "oh, there's no proof of efficacy, blah blah blah."
EXCEPT HOW IT STOPPED MY HEADACHES. I got your efficacy right there, buddy.
So now I take fioricet, which is decent but not great. So I'm going to give acupuncture a shot. (I keep saying that but haven't yet called her. Soon, I swear!)
Now I gotta go make cookies for Tim's ex's son. I am going to load him down with food and dog food and water and paper towels (you need the last if you have the first 3).
This stuff Connie? Says it's acetaminophen.

WOOOO!!
I made the Bobby-Hill-squealing-like-a-girl sound (and flappy hands) when I saw the signs in CVS.

I first read that as

Notice it says "new formula." I have a vague memory that Cope, which was marketed for "women's pain," had something in it that was taken off over the counter.
My CVS totally has Allegra. What does it have over Zyrtec?
Much as I was hopeful about the Zyrtec (which I took with a real-sugar Dr. Pepper...which might have made a difference), a few hours later and my throat is hurting again...even after being indoors away from the ugly tree spores. Feh.
For a non-chemical kinda gal, my allopathic drawer is filling right up with the allergy meds. Bah.
Like the mysterious pamabrom in Pamprin. It's some flavor of diuretic, I know.
