So, last might I had an allergy attack in the middle of the night, not sure what caused it, but had the usual effect of tightening my chest to a wheez, itchy throat like you wouldn’t believe, eyes gunged up (lovely!) etc etc etc. So I got up about 2am for an anti-histamine. The problem was we didn’t have the ones that I normally take and only had Piriton. In my “middle of the night slumber” I totally forgot that although they’re supposed to be non-drowsy, it’s not like that in my world – and not only did I take one but due to the bad allergy attack thought I’d take 2, just to make sure!!
The result? – I woke out of bed at 11.30am – yes, nearly lunch time – can’t remember the last time I did that – got up, had breakfast, then as I still looked awful Jase told me to lie on the sofa – I woke from that at 5pm! I’d been awake for about 15 minutes! For me, Piriton is V dangerous and wipes me out like you wouldn’t believe – very bizarre for 2 small tablets!!
They’re now in the bin to be on the safe side…..

Whoo boy!!! Hahahahaha!! Unbelievable how powerful that stuff is eh? It works too good!
Just have a couple of whiskeys next time.hope you are ok.
Hey Mick – fine now, just really knocked me for 6 yesterday! And today, whatever it was I had an attack against has left a lovely rash on my forehead – niiiiiice!
so are you allergic to an anti allergy medication?
how does that work?
How’s the rash? Hopefully it’s fading by now.
Any clues as to what might have caused the allergic reaction?
I didn’t hear a thing…
I think that throwing them in the waste bin was a very good idea Cath!!!!!!!
