Go play in the dirt. Pet the dog. Kiss babies. Mow the lawn and roll in the grass. Exercise the five-second rule.
Get enough sleep. Get enough exercise. Drink enough water. Watch I Love Lucy or The Three Stooges. And stop reading the side effects.

I dunno. I think I figured out it was dosing myself up on Baclofen which was giving me my strange weekend sickness problems. I haven't had any for about the same amount of time as I haven't been ill. I think it used to build up in my system until it made me loose-bowelled and nauseous, at which point I couldn't swallow anything anyway. Then come back five days later when it had built up in my system again.
The side effects don't suggest this is a pattern, and although it works in my head I don't know if it can medically have a cumulative effect, but the symptoms are apparently common. Ditto codeine. If I'd been able to read the side effects through my pain-squinted eyes, I wouldn't have prolonged a bout of food poisoning with the sweats and hallucinations in my 20s (codeine based tablets) AND I'd have saved myself a week long migraine a few years back (prescribed codeine for terrible headaches). One addiction I will never be in danger of acquiring! I get what you're saying though, V. One of my friends nearly had me convinced I had an STD when I was a virginal 15yo, after looking up my symptoms in her Dad's medical book. Sometimes you can worry too much.
