Ya'll are making me laugh. Fortunately, my dental work doesn't hurt anymore. I went to the dentist Tuesday for two fillings in 2 upper teeth near the front. Took two shots to numb. Numbness went halfway across the front.
I had to go pick up my meds after that. I looked like a stroke victim...one side of my mouth drooping. When the pharmacist brought out my order and asked whether I'd taken Wellbutrin XL before and if I was familiar with it, all I could say was "Um-humph-fff" (trying not to spit or drool). No doubt he thought I really needed the script. I won't do that again.
I usually try to act normal when I get my scripts so that the folks behind the counter don't look at me funny. Hopefully they look at me with shock and awe, like "gee, those drugs must really be working 'cause she sure acts normal to me. Maybe she doesn't really need 'em." I got mad at one pharm assistant once over an insurance issue, and she looked at me funny every time I went in after that. (Kind of patronizing, with sidelong glances when they thought I wasn't looking.)
I bought a bottle of diet coke after getting the scripts Tuesday, but forgot I couldn't feel my upper left lip, so had to wait till I could and by that time the coke was warm.
