Pharmacy

Stray thought: Is there such a thing as being over-medicated?

For example, when I get an infection, I take antibiotics. But they give me heartburn and stomach spasms, so I take antacids. Antacids give me a headache, so I take Tylenol or Advil or aspirin... and so on.

The above example is just hypothetical, of course. But when I see one of my friends reaching so readily into the medicine cabinet for every little ache and pain, I can't help but wonder if she would be better off if she were to just grin and bear whatever discomfort it is that she's experiencing. At some point, that surely has to be better than being a walking pharmacy. Besides, God only knows what those chemicals are doing when they're mixed together into one cocktail.
