As a kid, children's Tylenol, anybody remember those awful pink and purple round chewable tablets?, tasted like plastic, they always made me puke they were so disgusting.

I am allergic to 'cillins. Not life-threatening anaphylactic shock yet but an annoying itchy rash all over my bod. Docs know this but still prescribe things that have a cillin hidden in it like Augmentin and I have to add another compound drug to the list.
I also have bad reactions to Clindamycin, internally it gave me diarrhea and I had to take an anti-protozoan to end that. Topically gives me a skin rash.
Something in most cold meds makes me break out also. Either acetaminophen or pseudoephedrine that is in all cold meds. So, I can't take Nyquil, Theraflu or most cold meds.

Doctor prescribed Claritin for a sinus infection and when I took it, I thought I went to the moon and back. Never again!

I'm allergic to Acetaminophen (Tylenol)--anaphylactic reaction, hives, swelling.

I can't take a lot of the codeine meds without getting really sick. But the worst reaction was probably a too hefty dose of pain med at the hospital. Flapping floor tiles. Not really "harmful" although amusing for everyone else at the time.

Ah yes, my first drug experience. And the pill that mama gave me (Dristan used to have codiene in it when I was a kid) I sat in dad's recliner and took a flying trip around the living room.

I'm trying to imagine you high Tony!
Promise me that if you ever take Claritin again, you'll log on and post!

Jeez. Me and drugs don't have a good track record....
Freshman year of college I got strep throat and learned 2 weeks later I'm highly allergic to penicillin.
I almost failed summer school in college because my doc prescribed Zyrtec for my allergies. Half of the time I couldn't even remember the walk to class!
A few years back a doc prescribed Bactrim for an infection--why, I don't know, since I never had it before, but I learned I'm also highly allergic to that as well.
The other night I thought I was coming down with a sinus infection so I took some basic, daytime formula Target brand sinus pain and congestion meds...I swear on everything, I conked out and dreamed of pills growing off trees. I kept waking up wondering what state I was in!
