Same here. I avoid taking whatever I can unless I really need it.

I never understood why people run to the doctors and get a boatload of antibiotics when they have a small cough, or take a bunch of Tylenol when they have a small headache.

I have terrible allergies (so bad that out of 365 days a year, a good 350 my nose is stuffy), and yet I only reserve taking my allergy meds for the really bad days (days where my eyes get puffy and watery and I literally sneeze every 30 seconds).

My point is you take this stuff when you don't need it, all you are doing is making it less effective when you do need it.
