Dextromethorphan? Ha! I’m big league, I use Promethazine w/ Codeine. A little more pricy but it sure works well.
Better grab up cough syrup and Advil before it takes a prescription from a government doctor, who BTW won’t be able to see you until next quarter, if at all.
Sso I guess terpin hydrates is right out too.
A bottle of Nyquil, a warm blanket and a strip of
duct tape. (that’s to put over your mouth after you
drink the whole bottle of Nyquil.)
How about we curb FDA abuse. We need a wall of separation between the government and our health decisions.
Dextromethorphan actually doesn't do much good, but it's part of our arsenal of things that at least help-- a little.
Actually, the thing that worked best was the good old fashioned Nyquil. I suspect it was the alcohol content-the girls get so exhausted from coughing that I think it finally just put them to sleep. But the new reformulated cough and cold products (sans alcohol and real decongestants) don't do squat.
And yes, you read right - I gave my kids stuff with alcohol in it. Send the PC Police to my house one night during a dual coughing episode and have them tell me what's wrong with that.
So now you have to visit the doctor when you have a common cold? How is that going to reduce healthcare costs?
When I buy Nyquil, I have to give my date of birth. I guess kids are abusing it.
This drug is almost unheard of among the hip right now. Once illegal, it will be instantly popular and cool.
When all drugs were sold at drug stores, they weren't considered cool or counterculture. Addicts were simply sad sick people. It wasn't cool to take grandmas cocaine cough drops and it's still considered sad to chug cough syrup.
Once illegal, drugs attract rockstars, bikers, celebrities, drug lords and other glamorized people that are associated with excitement and beyond the mainstream.
A percentage of people always seek excitement and go against norms. Other people want to make money at all costs. Outlawing certain drugs gave both of those people many opportunities at a very high cost to us all.
More idiotic laws always equal more unintended consequences
When are we going to curb the abuses of the FDA?
Illegal immigrants with fake ids can vote and get added to virtually an entitlement program available, they get in-state college tuition breaks and free schooling.
And Americans can no longer access cold medicine without a background check and an entry into a tracking database?
Better the drug companies work to curb abuse by the FDA! They are the bad actors in this scenario!
Oh yes, let’s add another 5 million doctor visits a year to the pipeline.
I've told this here before, but the last time I needed to get some of my cold formula advil, I also needed to pick up an RX for vicodin. My pharmacy knows me, and they just handed me my vicodin, but needed to get a photocopy of my drivers license and fill out some paperwork for the state the cold formula advil!

Horsehockey. We need less drugs on prescription. This is union shop at work.
I will be glad to share how I make a cough medicine from colts foot. Damn goo, and free.
My American lit. teacher used to come to class every day all jacked up on cough syrup.
