amoxicillin, really? you allergic to penicillin or something?

I'm not allergic to it but my body can't process it if it's on its own (like in pill form), it makes me delirious and stuff. If it's with a good binding agent I seem to be okay, and I had the liquid form a lot as a kid. All my drs have it listed as an allergy to be on the safe side.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

I remember that pink poo poo. There was always one weird kid in every school year who thought it was delicious so I guess now I found out where one of them got to at least.

That garbage tasted like a second hand strawberry milkshake and the only thing worse was the "banana" flavoured one

I was sick all the drat time as a kid as my sinuses are weird.

The main syrups:

Dimetapp
pink amoxicillin in the fridge
Another pink fridge one that was transparent and more bubblegummy. Top shelf
Robitussin.
Cherry codeine syrup. I was given a lot of this, and my brain still says that it's the best thing that I've ever tasted. Not great in retrospect

This stuff. This stuff tastes just like it. It's fuckin crazy. One sip, and I'm 8 years old with an ear infection again. It's crazy how severe the nostalgia hit me. I'm not sure if I'll have this again but I definitely recommend trying it once.

Remember that scene in the Simpsons where Principle Skinner describes the broth he was fed in captivity, and then digresses into a discussion about how hes never been able to recreate the soup at home? So yeah, as a kid who had so many ear infections that the doctor was threatening to put tubes up his ears this stuff is my version of that. I know exactly what you mean and cant wait to try this drink that is probably absolute garbage.

Dimetapp was also a big favorite of mine. The low sugar grape Gatorade really tastes like it. Not the zero sugar, not the full bodied stuff, but the low sugar grape.

:barf::sweep::zoid:



I have a core memory of being really young and sick all the time and there was some dank yellowish green syrup I would have to take. I have never encountered the taste again and I can’t really describe it other than it tasted yellowish green. Trying to recall a taste or a smell is such an elusive thing. Like sometimes I almost think I can remember it but the feeling vanishes immediately. This was in the 70s so who knows what that stuff was, could have been straight liquor for all I know.

There was also a white chalky peppermint tasting stuff for diarrhea that I liked but I’ve never found that again either. Maybe Starbucks has it.

I saw you yesterday
Looked like you were running away
You seemed so uneasy
That's not the way to please me
We gotta go to the harm tonight
We gotta get our minds alright

Doesn't hurt to have a taste
Haven't got a life to waste
With pink drink
We bear witness to the sound
Gotta lotta points to sell
Closer up than anyone can tell
With pink drink it's much better
And so much more fun

Who's gonna pull the magic string
Sitting on the throne of the lonely king
And it's not who we blow
But who we blow off
That smooths our heads in a pink cloud
The world's so stiff in its usual form
But our spin shakes like a tube in a storm, yeah

I’ve had amoxicillin as both pills and liquid suspension, always preferred the pills, they tasted like bubblegum. My doc would always ask whether I wanted the pills that tasted like bubblegum or the ones that tasted like dirt. He was p. cool.

Dimetapp was the best so when my daughter got sick I bought some for her, but now it suuuuucks. But it’s not as awful as the liquid augmentin (which is amox + potassium clavulanate) that I used to take when I had strep or if my quarterly ear infection was bad enough; it was… idk, orange? but a really sickly orange flavor, even thicker than liquid amox, and really grainy. Gritty. It was god damned atrocious.

re dextromethorphan: Delsym orange is good. The polystirex form gives it a unique mouthfeel not unlike pink amox, like microscopic plasticy beads.

I remember some of my friends getting hosed up on DXM when we were young. There used to be a cough medicine that was only DXM and that poo poo would gently caress you up if you ate a whole box.

I was p ok friends with a guy in high-school who drank Tussin out of an old Hawaiian Punch bottle, and ate un-subscribed pills out of an Altoids tin.

He killed himself the year after he graduated.

RIP Andy.

I lost a buddy right after highschool to DUI. He was gonna self destruct one way or another based on his trajectory. If I knew then what I know now about the benefits of therapy there maybe could have been an intervention. He had lots of internal strife. There were a lot of nights where I convinced him to crash on my couch instead of driving home. I wish he'd been drinking my place that night.

Did anyone else have to take lots of spoonfuls of amoxicillin as a kid in the 90's?? You get it in pill form these days but back then children were prescribed the liquid version, which had an incredibly unique taste, unlike anything else I've experienced until now.

I'm with the pill people. From as young an age as I can remember, I dreaded any liquid meds and just wished I could take a pill. It's never going to taste good! Why would I want the version you have to taste?

A couple decades later I had to give my lizard a liquid antibiotic for a mild infection because you can't really convince a lizard to take a pill. He was good about it but it took like 15 minutes of convincing for him to open his mouth and he was clear that he did not like it. My mom told me this was exactly five year old me.
