ladydoujiOk I said I was going to bed, and I did. Insomnia hit and my eyes started itching like crazy(stupid allergies)
So I get up and take a sleeping pill, trying not to rub at my eyes. I then remember and see a bottle off allergy relief pills, I checked the warning labels on both medicine bottles before taking any though. It's a good thing I did because both the sleeping pills and the allergy relief pills were the exact same pill, with the exact dame dosage recommendation. If I had taken any of the allergy pills I would have just been getting a double dose of what I needed. Not necessarily a good thing when dealing with drugs.
I guess the drug companies just wanted to market a sometimes useful side effect of the antihistimine component. Kinda interesting though, almost makes me want to go through the OTC aisle and see what other meds are the same thing just under different names.
