Medicines you like taking
Inspired by sudafed talk in the hayfever tears thread.
That banana flavoured antibiotic stuff they give you when you're too young for tablets.
Resolve - but this seems to have vanished now. It was the ultimate hangover cure.
you can still get resolve
Better than resolve for hangovers is dioralyte. tastes minging though.
I like medicines.
I can't find any Resolve anywhere
I like to have a stash at home - if you see some, I will pay you handsomely to send me some!
sure, no problem, I'm pretty sure I saw them in superdrug a couple of months ago
Is dioralyte that pond-green liquid?
Think I've had that before.
it's in a sachet like resolve
it's basically salt anmd sugar, for restoring your electrolytes.
Hmmm
I remember having something as a kid that was a really unpleasant green colour. It was called something like dioralyte and my mum told me to drink it all because it would make me feel better.
I just remember disliking my mum more with each disgusting sip.
had these raspberry flavour chewable travel sickness tablets on Thursday
They were like sweeties.
like Chewits?
Codeine
calpol
delicious
calcium tablets
They sound chalky, are they chalky?
very.
calciyummy
I love cough syrup
good shout
I always overdose on the stuff. One shot every four hours? Pfft.
my last cough i was chugging that like water
banging that shit out
Ricola cough sweets THE END
That banana antibiotic stuff, surely you mean Calpol, liquid paracetemol, not antibiotics.
The young kids one was the best, strawberry flavour. The banana one was ming.
The stuff I'm on about was definitely antibiotic
Amoxicillin; I had it for ear infections.
I can assure you that the banana one did not ming!
probably some chewable aniseed flavoured tablets that I had to take years ago for some form of oral fungal infection
they were delicious.
Being prescribed Ritalin was nice
Didn't last long as I changed GPs, but it gave me a fantastic boost when I was really failing at getting anything done in life.
is that the ADD stuff?
How does it actually work? Do you just stop thinking about other stuff?
Pretty much
You kind of get tunnel vision, and find yourself working without really noticing. Normally, writing large pieces of work is difficult for me, but I was able to just sit and stare at the screen and get a lot of good stuff down without stressing myself out or having to think too hard.
that actually sounds pretty great
Halcyon days, my friend.
Benylin is great
Valium
because valium.
Worst QOTSA singalong ever
Ibuprofen.
It gives me fantastic trippy dreams.
Did you know Ibuprofen was invented in Nottingham?
You're welcome!
tramadol
only had it once, but i felt nice the day after.
Crack.
Steroids
Have been on them twice for different things. First time it was like this magic cure that took me from being rushed to hospital for emergency surgery, to pretty much back to normal in 3 days.
Second time was a longer period and the energy and appetite was refreshing as I had been in agony and hardly eating for over 6 months.
Still paying for it now though, put on a fair bit of weight and struggle to lose it.
also tiny balls, obvs.
Lemsip
it makes me feel really warm all over, and immediately makes me feel better.
The blackcurrant one, right?
Nope, just the lemon one.
I've actually never tried the blackcurrant one.
Not really a medicine,
but I'm a big fan of glucose sweets.
Benadryl
Temazepam
Zopiclone
Knocks you out for long haul flights and you don';t feel groggy when you wake up. Amazing amazing stuff.
Had this prescribed for my insomnia
Amazing. So right about the comparative lack of grogginess that you get with other medication.
