I'm currently on a few medications for a little problem that I'm having with my left leg. Three medications, to be exact, each of which is plastered with stickers with senseless icons about how to take the medication.
The first sticker on med #1 says that it should be taken with a full glass of water. The second sticker says that it should be taken with food or milk. I don't drink milk (I sometimes eat dairy. Yeah, I'm a mess.) so I take this one with food and water.
I'm supposed to take the second drug simultaneously with the first. It, however, carries a sticker that says "Do not take with antacids, vitamins or foods with high amounts of iron and/or protein." I have to take both of these medications twice a day. My solution? A Twinkie for breakfast and a bag of Cheetos for dinner. Oh, and a nice glass of water. Yum!
I, of course, exaggerate slightly. It is, however, difficult to work them all in.
Oh, and the best? Medication #2 makes it difficult to sleep. Medication #3, therefore, is the sleep aid Ambien. The sticker on its bottle? "Warning - May cause drowsiness." I kid not...
