Tiny reminder, if you take frequent medications and find yourself needing to take specialized over the counter medicine (as for allergies, a cold, tummy bug, whatever), to always check your drug interactions BEFORE you put something in your body. Pharmacists are a good source, as is this drugs.com interaction checker. Sometimes it’s fine. Sometimes you find out after the fact you can’t take a decongestant along with your adhd meds without it making you dizzy and weak and confused before your body works overtime to get it out of your system by any means necessary. Do your research!! Do not play with your body chemicals unless you really know what you’re doing!

#apparently as I understand it decongestants cause my adhd meds to make me high #which ended with a terrible toilet time #so allergies and sinus infections are going to be fun for the rest of my life lol #I have a friend who has a gallon bag full of medications she takes #and if she needs to take something for a cold or something she just. doesn’t check the interactions at all #she gives me secondhand anxiety but also she very much is at the point #where she’s in pain all the time and something is always going wrong in her body anyway #so yolo she supposes #I respect her but as for me and my house we will check our drug interactions obsessively #bc I take few enough that it’s easier I suppose #side note: the only times I’ve been ‘high’ are from medicine mishaps #and it’s always a dizzy and confused experience #if that’s what being high is like I’m not sure I understand recreationally undergoing that but eh yall do y’all
