Reply to comment by starry_nightz_ in TIFU by drinking half a bottle of my roommate's Benadryl by starry_nightz_

She probably doesn’t take random medicine all the time. She knows what’s in her medicine cabinet, knows what it’s for, and knows how much to take. To you, it seems random because you don’t know these things. Next time you’re not feeling well, ask her what to take or read the package very carefully before taking any.

You can’t bother her at work, right. But medicine is specific to the person taking it, and if you take the wrong kind or too much you can really hurt yourself. So let’s plan ahead in case you get sick again.

Are you getting a lot of headaches? Are you on any prescription medications, or aware of having any specific chronic health issues?

How big is your overall size - like, very small person (100 lbs), medium person (150 lbs), or larger person (200+)?

You said you can’t take pills, right?
