[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

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

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

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.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Like the mysterious pamabrom in Pamprin. It's some flavor of diuretic, I know.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Hot damn, that's good news. Allegra is awesome stuff.

Different antihistamines just work differently. You'd think I, of all people, would know why, but I don't. I just think the different drugs work differently with people's bodies. Same reason different anti-depressants work better or worse for different people.
Allegra always seemed to kick the most ass, though, consistently. And the problem with my health insurance (and most people's, I think) is that as soon as comparable antihistamines such as Claritin were available OTC (comparable in terms of being non-sedating and only needing to be taken once or twice a day), then insurance companies wouldn't allow prescriptions for allergy drugs like Allegra that were still prescription-only when similar ones could be gotten OTC.
Bastards.
I'm sure they did/do the same thing with acid-reducing drugs like Prilosec, etc. (Interestingly, some acid-reducing drugs are also histamine blockers; they just act at a different receptor than allergy drugs do.)
God damn, I am Cliff Clavin sometimes.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I keep getting excited about the antihistamine talk until I remember I don't have allergies any more.
