severe outbreak of poison ivy. When I got the prescription I thought the pill was too big to be prednisone, but I was so miserable I took it without checking further. I also couldn't understand why I was so sleepy and my heart was racing. The second pill I looked more closely and discovered it was Vicodin, which I'm allergic to. I called the pharmacy and they were like it happens all the time and it was no big deal to them. I thought good thing I wasn't so allergic that I had anaphylaxis. I always double check prescriptions now.
