this afternoon at my local wal-mart, i found the shelves utterly devoid of tylenol products, probably as a result of the recent massive drug recall. abandoning the hope of my once-beloved tylenol pms and forced to choose among competing sleep-aid products, i went straight for the best: excedrin pm.
ahh, excedrin, the vicodin of otc medication. who's ever had an unpleasant experience with the high-octane, 'roid-raging pain-reliever-on-crack that is excedrin? from past experience treating everything from slight headaches to the praying-for-death throat-agonies of pharyngitis, excedrin has been the hefty sack to tylenol's wimpy bag.
knowing that excedrin packs more active ingredients into each easy-to-swallow tablet, i'm ashamed that i groveled piteously at the feet of tylenol pm for so many years like a hungry zombie, begging the sweet brains of sleep from a peasly 25mg of diphenhydramine.
pharmaceutical deity novartis consumer health, inc. has ridden in like a cannibal brain market with its beefed-up 38mg of oh-so-satisfying diphenhydramine. zombie swallow pill. zombie sleep. zzz....
nighty-night!
