I will upvote this every time. “We would like to hear more about how you are using Allegra” is absolutely priceless.

    Pharmaceutical companies are actually legally required to find out if you’re misusing their product or taking it in an undirected way, and report that to the FDA. Well, has been that way historically, anyhow. If you even work for a pharmaceutical company and you overhear at a weekend barbecue that someone has not taken a dose or doubled a dose etc, you’re obligated to report it within 24 hours.

    Yep, I used to have a special card I had to keep in my wallet. It had a special number for them to call, and half of it had space for me to write down details (who/what/where) in the event I couldn’t get them to call

    Reminds me of the one with the 7-11 gecko (or some animal) near a soda station. And 7-11 replies "can you tell us where this is so we can check on him and make sure he's safe?" And they're like no I ain't a snitch.

    I think it's mostly a meme, but I'm sure some people might.

    yea there's even a specific diagnostic code for it in the DSM, F19 other substance use disorder, where in the criteria antihistamine abuse is explicitly mentioned (and DXM/Kratom are not mentioned, even though they get the same code and are more widely abused in the USA!)

    It's allergy meds that people take to help them not sneeze.

    But whenever I take it, it makes me drowsy.

    Zyrtec is the one that works for me with no noticeable side effects.

    Cetirizine (Zyrtec) is pretty good and I think a tier 3 antihistamine. Allegra might be too.

    If you need Zyrtec D, save a ton of money and get a separate Pseudoephedrine and Cetirizine. We get a 20 pack of generic Sudafed for $6 and a huge bottle of Cetirizine that last a year for cheap. The big bottle is around the price of a small pack of Zyrtec D.

    Brand name for fexofenadine hayfever medication. If you don't live in the US you probably know it under a different brand name.

    Just raid the medicine cabinet for seasoning. Don't follow a recipe, go with vibes. Try that jar of cough syrup, a little rubbing alcohol and hand sanitizer should help with mouth feel, what was that pack of pills that you just knocked in? Oh well, just a happy little accident.
