*giggle* Interesting way of putting it, Sal.
I know you've got my(our) best interests at heart.But the anticholinergic side-effect is drowsiness, right? Which is the goal.
And I take Zyrtec and then Benadryl on top of it to kill the remainder of symptoms Benadryl doesn't relieve. (right now I'm waiting for the decongestant to wear off so I can take more, plus Benadryl for sleeping, but I can't breath thru my nose much at all!)By the way, I think I'd like to hear about any successes you've had with mail-ordering from over-seas/mexican pharmacies. I'm getting a bit sick of the over-caution of my doctors. Why am I taking Benadryl anyway, when there's perfectly good hypnotics MADE for sleep??? But my doctors won't give them to me. They hate me. God forbid I should know diddly-squat, and speaking my mind...wow, what a violation. *grumblesnarl*
Anyway, I know you can't/won't post about that borderline-legal stuff here, so please email if you have any thoughts.sl
