I read the instructional leaflet inside my medicine. It said “Take one 500mg tablet every 8 hours. For extreme cases take one 1000mg tablet every 12 hours.” I have been prescribed one 1000mg tablet every 8 hours, some mistake maybe? I feel dizzy and I’m coming out in hives. All in the cause of getting well. Otherwise I feel fine. Though I could really do with a beer.
The pharmacist said “take one every 8 hours, with meals.” Now, I didn’t think too hard at the time but on the bus on the way back it occurred to me that I’d have to start eating meals at 8am, 4pm and 12am or else start going to bed at some ridiculous hour. Screw that.

haonowshaokao 
i once had to take these tablets which had to be timed so perfectly that i had to wake myself up in the night to take them. you’d think your body would beless of a slave to time really.
You would think, yes. But no. Remember when I was nocturnal? That was sort of weird.
yeah how did you get into and out of that?
Just couldn’t get to sleep, eventually would drop off every night half an hour or so later than the night before.
How I got out of it? I went all the way around the clock. And I read this book that helped too.
oh that sleep book?
Yeah, that sleep book. it was called “Sleep” I believe.
Just be happy they’re not suppositories! :(
Nah, I don’t give a shit about suppositories. A bit of a yuk factor but butter than getting wedged in your throat like these do.
Sounds like my “head meds.”
HA.
Pardon?
Nev’mind.
Sure
:P
