Prescription Vs. Behind the counter

Ok, goodies! I ran out of my prescription pills since the Dr. wanted to try them on me for a week, the next day my nose was stuffy once again... D@#*#$@#!!!! I really did get used to having a good night rest and being able to breathe like a NORMAL HUMAN BEING.
So... I went to CVS Pharmacy and noticed that the 12 Hour Claritin was a behind the counter medicine.
I went to the pharmacy and bought it, well, tried buying it!

Clerk: Could I have an ID?
Me: (wtf?) Uhm, sure!
Clerk: Full name
Me: Noelia Pereira... (can't he see my ID?)
Clerk: Address
Me: (oh my... look at my ID) 8**** ** ***** ****
Clerk: Date of birth
Me: (you're dumber than you look... and you still have my ID in front of you) **/**/19**
Clerk: Phone number
Me: (***)***-****
-He gives me back my ID-
Clerk: Cash or credit?
Me: Credit...
-I give him my credit card-
Clerk: Could I see some ID
Me: ........................... ...... Here.....


Apparently you can't buy a lot of behind the counter Claritin. After I took the first dose, I began to see...............Let me rephrase...... I began to FEEL why it's being controlled.
Let me say that not only I felt drowsy, it was more like a inebriated state, do I need to say I passed on beers with my friends and went straight to bed?
On Friday I was so tired (long week) I got home from work at 6 and fell straight to bed, waking up at 8:30 and rushing to take a shower and *TRY* to make it to youth group!

Well, needless to say that never happened while I was on prescription allergy medication. Although given the price difference (Claritin $15 for 10 days/Allegra $39 for 10 days) you will expect a better medicine.


Aaanyways, enough said.. Now I need to find a part-time job to make ends meet and afford my $210 a month medicine!!



Anyone feeling like giving away money for the heck of it?? LET ME KNOW!!!
