I Want A New Drug

Allegra is now considered OTC which means you don't need a prescription to get it. They didn't change anything about the drug - they've just suddenly decided it's ok to hand out to everyone. That makes me a little uneasy, but whatever. I'm trying to look at the bright side. Some day I might have this conversation via Text Message with my husband:

Me: I need you to run to the store

Him: Give me the list

Me: Milk, Apple Juice, Diapers, Lettuce & Vicodin

Him: Ok, do you need any percocet while I'm there?

Me: Nope - we still have some darvocet and medical mary-jane in the cupboard so we should be good until next month. But I could use some more ritalin since we have 3 play dates next week and I can't stand the moms.

Him: Awesome. See ya in an hour.

See? Won't the future be great?! We won't even MISS that there's no flying cars yet because, really, who will notice?!

In this magical world you speak of, is Ambien also OTC???

You make me smile...or it could just be the vicodin. Either way!

LOL. Awesome. My husband might actually be trying the allegra this week. His allergies are ridiculous this spring! And I'll take the vicodin.

I often wonder what makes them decide that things should be OTC....and I work for a Pharmaceutical company.

I believe all the cars would be flying cars with that kind of medicine cabinet.

You can pretty much do that if you live in Canada. For a nominal fee you can join their online drug services and they'll mail that crap right to your door! I looked into it when my husband was on a monthly RX, I was just a little leery it wouldn't be the same stuff.

Now Huey Lewis and the News is stuck in my head....

I want a new drug
One that won't make me sick
One that won't make me crash my car...

Thanks for the flashback ;)

I am on enough meds to start my own pharmacy...

LOL, that is awesome!

Sandi said...

Awesome!! I am a mom of 3 of my own kids plus an entire complex of other kids. As long as the Mary Jane and Xanax is legal AND OTC I would be in heaven!!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE other mom's who say Fuck! It's nice to know I'm not alone Hahaha

He & Me + 3 said...

Oh good grief I should have thought of that back in the days when I had play dates. LOL You are too funny.

Oh Heidi! If you like that, you *need* to watch THX 1138. It's George Lucas' first film. You will like the future. :)

Bri said...

oh my this gave me a good laugh :) it really is ridiculous though that they just put anything over the counter like this.

Bethany said...

Ahhh that would be awesome! When I got allegra over the counter the other day, I had to show my license and sign a paper. I'm not sure what they do with that info...
