I feel drugged from all the cold medicine I've been taking lately. When my mom first approached me with that... yellow liquid, I took one look at it, and I felt I was going to puke. I have very bad memories regarding cold medicines -- especially those cough medicines that you have to drink. The moment I see a liquid cough medicine, I immediately recall the feeling that I have when swallowing the medicines, and I feel nauseous.
Today, before I went to school, my mom gave me a pill to help loosen the mucus that I had in my throat. It ended up making me feel dizzy all day, and I was really close to going to the school infirmary and going home. Heck, I walked into a pole during lunch because I was blowing my nose, and trying to make myself less dizzy.
Is there a particular reason that cold medicine has to either A) taste horrible B) knock you out C) leave you with bad side effects? I swear, medicine companies must have board meetings about how to make people feel bad after taking their medicines. Sure, they may work well, but they are such a pain to take. I remember, when I was little, whenever my mom approached me with liquid cold medicine (especially Robitussin), I would run away from her. This one time, I even hid inside my closet so she wouldn't find me -- but she did, because apparently, my foot was sticking out of the closet.
Now, excuse me while I go drink my heart out in cold medicine, in an attempt to make myself feel better.
