Keeping me awake tonight: post-nasal drip and an ouchy swollen-feeling tongue. I went on the Robitussin website's "Find Your Formula" thingy. By checking off my symptoms (sore throat, chest congestion, cough, body aches) it told me to use their "cough, cold & flu" capsules. Upon further examination, I learned these capsules contained acetaminophen, dextromethorphan, guaifenesin, and pseudoephedrine. So I checked my medicine cabinet. One box of generic multi-symptom cold pills had the acetaminophen, dextromenthorphan, and pseudoephedrine covered. Sweet. But what about the guaifenesin? Praised be hypochondria, had that too, and in tablets containing four times the amount that silly Robitussin had to offer. Splendid. Though I have to wonder if I wouldn't be better off just doing a shot of something and passing out. Too late. Pills ahoy! It's way past my bedtime.
