for now, i have a "stock" of my old stuff. but it goes quick when i need it. i found out its active isomer is on the market (same relationship as Lexapro has to Celexa) BUT, did they put the "normal" release out... NO! it is only available in non-divisible, extended release form - 12 hours rather than 4. Now, sometimes, for i had strong reactions, i would take 1.5 or 2 pills of my reg. antihist (Chlortrimeton, btw). I CANNOT DO THAT with a friggingg extended release thingummajigg!!!

for this season i am going to try that stuff anyway, make sure it works. for chronic use i can use that and save the 4 hour pills of the old stuff for "emergencies" of course i can only do that until they expire. i have searched city wide and one pharmacy searched a database for province-wide availability in small-town pharmacies. NADA!!!!

i can appreciate (but am not happy about!) the situation with sudafed, d/t morons making meth out of it. but chlorpheniramine is not sed for recreational purposes much less illicit ones!

haven't these people heard of if it ain't broke don't fix it?

Well that really bytes. You need your own car with driver to take you around. That is the only solution. Drop public transport and get treated like the princess / goddess that you are.

YEAH! that would be cool...

...sort of. see, as much as i dislike the nitty gritty of public trans, the traffic in the city is SO DENSE, and the pollution is SO bad... they actually have days where they ban circulation to preserve air quality. i'm not crazy about adding to the problem.

but i do love your princess/goddess idea!

i wouldn't mind a horse-driven carriage... might take a while to get places, but... hey... the only emissions you get from "true horsepower" can be used to fertilize the fields... hehe.

now what i'd reaaaally love...

............is a magic carpet!
