Runny nose, floating feeling; What's that crawling on the ceiling?
Slow motion, deep thinking; --Huh? What? My IM's blinking.
Soft chair, not much noise; No one's watching my three boys.

I am a sissy then, because I took a half dose of Benadryl for my allergies and crashed out for 2 hours.

My hubby has the huge dose Ibuprofen from when he was on his mission, and half of one of those will knock me out.
Last week I was so sick he gave me Nyquil....I'd never had it before. Good stuff, but after 3 days I had to stop taking it because I wouldn't wake up in the morning.
Medicine scares me.

You people get drugged up on ibuprofen, benadryl, and nyquil and feel knocked out? Tell that to the people I see patrol into the pharmacy on a daily basis who have to have their regular refills on Vicodin, Ambien, Valium, Percocet, Ativan, Klonopin...etc. etc. etc. Even cough syrup with codeine.
They gotta have 'em cuz OTC drugs "don't work" on them.
That cough syrup with Codine is good stuff. I remember years ago I had a cough so bad that my chest felt bruised. I couldn't sleep or anything. The doc gave me that and I was dreaming in color and chasing around a white rabbit. Good stuff.
When I was about 14 I had a really, really bad cold. I took some over the counter super duper stuff. During the night I dreamed I was in Vietnam. My buddy Jim and I (I don't have a buddy named Jim) were exchanging gunfire with the Cong. Half the building we were in was blown out. We started moving stuff around to provide cover. I woke up the next morning at about a 45 degree angle. The only reason I didn't fall out of bed was because the covers were tucked in. I got out of bed and realized my there was a heavy wooden chair from my desk under the bed which was why it was at a 45 degree angle. I had a terrible time getting it out from under the bed. It was an old wooden bed frame, solid wood not that particle beam stuff. It was made in the 50s and quite robust. On top of that was a two matresses including a box spring. I barely drag this thing across the floor but in the heat of battle during the night I somehow lifted it, got a chair under it, and managed to get back in bed. Can't remember if we smoked the VC or if they got us in the end.
I want, what they want, and every other guy, who's came over here, spilt his guts, gave everything he had, ONCE, for our country to love us, as much as we, Love...IT. That's what I want. - John Rambo
I think what triggered the dream was watching too much Tour of Duty. China Beach was for the girly men.
The cough syrup with Codeine is wonderful. I got prescribed a big bottle once and didn't need most of it for the cough, so I started using it to treat my PMS. Worked wonders.

Great ode to benadryl! I am one who can fall asleep pretty easy without medication. Put me on meds and I really shut down! That has also been my experience with allergy over the counter medication. I was shocked when they took away a gold medal from a girl in the olympics because she took an allergy medicine that knocks me out. I couldn't see how that could give her an edge.
