Heh. I remember that part well. I think the drops drain through your
tear ducts into your nose and throat, where 'nasty' doesn't even being
to describe the taste. :(

For what it is worth, I never really had pain. The first couple drops
of Pred Forte after the PI felt like being stabbed with a hot needle.
But after the initial drops, the pain went away.

Incidentally, my doc gave me a sampler bottle of PF when my first ran
out. It was just enough to get me through the series without having to
get a second prescription filled.
