So when you take cough medicine at 3am, you should probably quadruple-check the dosage so you don't accidentally take 3 times the dosage (also 150% of what you're supposed to take in a 24 hour period) and wake up 7 hours later high as a kite. Sucks more because the meds aren't working and I can't take more :( and I'm *still* high.

I hope you're feeling better!

Sadly, I am not :( My lungs are very unhappy with life at the moment, which is unfortunate because there's not much you can do for lungs. Sore throats, yes; sore lungs, not really. Tea is helping, which is nice, though.

Ugh, that sounds awful. *squish*

Would have thought it would make you really sleepy. Oh well, tea with lemon and honey?

You'd think, but no. It was Delsym, so it wasn't the alcohol it was whatever the hell else is in it. I woke up at 10am and was like "Holy shit, whoa." Especially because I'd gone to bed totally sober and woke up anything but! I didn't even know until I stood up and almost fell over. The recommended dose is 10mL every 12 hours, and I may have taken 30mL (which, in my defense, is the dose of most other cold medicines). Whoops.

Tea is helping, though :) It's just tough because it's my lungs that hurt, not my throat, so once the heat/steam is gone I start coughing again :/

Thanks, lady. I am feeling much better :)
