garnigal | I am dumb.

I was sick, sick, sick this weekend.

Not as sick as saratinia was last week, but still pretty freaking miserable.

And I made myself even more miserable.

I bought No Name Extra Strength Sinus Medication. When I buy No Name drugs, I usually just make sure that the medicinal ingredients and amounts are the same as the name brand version. It was the same stuff as Tylenol for Sinus, so I bought it.

I read how much to take and how often, but I didn't quite do all my research.

It contains Pseudoephedrine Hydrochloride, which is a stimulant. The packaging actually says "Reduce dosage if nervousness or sleeplessness occurs." Wish I'd read that before last night. 40 minutes of sleep, woken by nightmares. I ended up on the bathroom floor (the only room in the house with locking doors) trying to calm down. When I finally cleared my head, I was totally jittery and paced for about an hour.

I got about 3 hours of sleep total last night.

No more non drowsy Extra Strength Sinus Medication after 4 pm for me.
