Although I've already complained about my cough, I have one more illness incident to complain about. It's kind of funny, actually.
Medication does weird things to me, sometimes. Over a year ago I had a bad incident with NyQuil where my friend insisted I had to take it and so he brought over a bottle. I took the normal dose, expecting to get rest and relaxation, and spent the whole night shaking and in a strange half-asleep, half-awake state where all my dreams seemed like hallucinations. I was stressed the entire time, not conscious enough to do anything about it because of the drug-induced haze, and even sicker in the morning. So I don't do NyQuil.
Well, my visiting teacher brought me TheraFlu today because I was miserably sick from being up all night coughing. I didn't think anything of it and thanked her and brewed it up and drank it down. An hour later I could barely walk and I stumbled to bed, where I proceeded to have a similar experience as I had with the NyQuil--I was super drowsy and in a semi-comotose state, but my body refused to sleep and kept getting more and more keyed up so I had all sorts of strange stressful hallucinations/dreams--so real I wasn't sure what had or had not happened when I finally became conscious again.
I don't need drugs to get high. All I need is a little NyQuil or TheraFlu.
Although the experience isn't exactly fun, so I think I'll pass.
