3:30 am is sometimes my bed time.
How have you not had a cold in years? Lucky. I seem to get them every other week when I'm in school.
If the medication contained Sudafed, you have to buy it behind the pharmacy counter. It's because they use Sudafed to create meth, so they monitor how much you purchase it and limit how much you can get at once. Really inconvenient, but sudafed works like a charm.
Anything with Sudafed is good. My doctor also recommends Mucinex. But for some reason, the kind with sudafed in it makes me really dizzy, so I just take the Mucinex-D, which has no sudafed. I also like Robitussin cough medicine. There was one day my freshman semester that I was in Public Speaking and felt really, really bad. It was either cough through someone's speech or go do something about the cough, so I got up and left. I went to the campus store (which was a two minute walk from my classroom...small school) and found Robitussin cough and cold. That stuff was so worth it. Worked like a charm. I stopped coughing, my body stopped aching, and my congestion cleared right up. I keep it on hand for when I feel really bad, and no one else is allowed near it.
