It blows my mind that the whole anti-inflammatory market is just a bunch of pain relievers. WHERE DOES MY PAIN GO!?

Many medications have multiple effects, some more significant than others.

What’s really wild is that the side effect of coming off of stuff like zyrtec is ITCHING. Once I got through the itchy “withdrawals” I hardly ever needed it anymore other than occasional bad reactions. Like, wtf? They really make it seem like it should be taken every day when it absolutely shouldn’t. Not to mention the weird weight gain it causes that they never seem to mention anywhere ever.

Obviously everyone’s mileage may vary but it’s kinda creepy looking into antihistamines and some of their shenanigans that get swept under the rug.
