Just Say No

I have been sick...That is why I have not been that diligent about my blogs.  But, part of that sickness has been really enlightening.  The doctor gave me 3 medications for my Ear/Sinus infection.  One of those was Amoxicillin, an antibiotic to help me get over the whole infection. The next was a cough syrup that I had to be 21 to get (cause it contained Codine) which by the way relaxes you to the point that you feel drunk (or at least the feeling of being drunk since I have never actually been drunk.  And then the final medication that they gave me was something called Pseudo Vent.  What I assumed to be just a decongestant.  And it is.  However this particular decongestant has several of the same components as meth and speed. 

It took two nights of not sleeping and then crashing for an entire afternoon to learn of the similar components in my drugs.  Besides the “Just Say NO!!” campaign that came to my elementary school I have made the decision to never do drugs. It was the most uncomfortable, frustrating, disturbing feeling I have ever had.  I can see the attraction to the drug for some because it really makes you feel like you have this endless amount of energy.  But not being able to sleep and then the feeling of crashing to where your body cannot function is not worth it. 

Say no to drugs
