@Pete(Detroit)- I like drive-thru pharmacies. They give "happy meal" toys with prozac.

Wouldn't know (but I'd believe it)
Had a cough that wouldn't let go, doc said no obvious reason (no congestion, no burbles, no fever, no glandular swelling) was prob result of quitting smoking and residual goo working loose. He gave me a script for a pill to relax things, and help it move out w/o causing a cough.
$5 / pill
$150 / month
Eff THAT!!! - I'm coughing, not DYING....
Talk about a double helping of grumpy flakes!

@Dan Mathewson- I'm guessing this particular pharmacist's spit has a lot of interesting components.

@Pete(Detroit)- Over the country Mucinex should help loosen phlegm (honest). Not sure that it will actually help the cough, but it will at least give you something interesting to spit afterwards!

Stilt - well, after a month or so of being green and rubbery (LARGE part of why I quit - spent 10 min gasping, decided I'd rather breathe than smoke), it's been clear and watery for two months now - I may not mess w/ a 'good thing'...
Then again, who knows, I *do* get silly like that.

@Pete(Detroit)- Hey, if things are getting better, don't go taking any medications on MY advice. And I meant "over the counter" rather than "over the country." I think my fingers are way too used to writing that other word on a different blog (grin).
