Thera-flu
I took some Thera-flu this morning and I feel like all my energy was zapped out. Kinda like when I come close to filling up my pouch.
At first I was almost bouncing off the walls like some good upper was slipped to me. It feels kinda wierd.
Anyone ever have this happen? Anyone have any reactions to any regular OTC cold/flu medicine?
I'm watching the clock now waiting to go home for the first time (I think?) since I have been here (at work)

Typical reaction...
Hi, Gerry - the thera-flu and similar meds often produce that kind of reaction. Best to take them if you are home in bed, not good if out driving, working etc.
Your PCP can probably suggest something else that will be effective without the loopiness this stuff causes...

oooh Gerry
Sorry to hear that buddy.. hope you are feeling better now. I have never taken theraflu so I don't know how I would react anyway. However, I know that just plain ole Tylenol makes me want to sleep now since surgery. It's pretty weird.. or it could just be that I'm weird?

Gerry,
You know what is fun is taking some thera-flu and watching The Wizzard of OZ at the same time. It's better than going out to see the pretty colors and you get flying monkeys too.

Yes but I think that you have to listen to "the wall" after doing that to get the full effect.

Oy! I should have tried to avoid using this four-letter word. Perhaps you expected me to refer to it by an elegant French term such as pipe-à-drogues. Sorry! (SURELY you didn't think I'd not know what such things are?! ... I was socially active during the 60s and 70s ya know!:
