Daily Dose

The instant Todd felt the familiar malaise setting in, he began taking sublingual drops of Exceedior every night. Which worked great, except that he found himself eating constantly, a common side effect. So he resumed his regular Refrescinox pills, which he felt working almost immediately. Problem was, now he had trouble motivating himself to even leave his bed, so he increased his daily dose of Zestifol. That certainly helped, but his self-worth dropped precipitously. Which corrected itself the moment his doctor prescribed a weekly injection of Glumevid. That, plus thrice-daily Impactizon, Rejuvical, and Energify—and finally Todd felt like himself again.
