So I have the cold from hell and I am too sick to drive anywhere. All I had laying around was some Nyquil. I took a couple swigs. I am not feeling groggy at all...I think I got a defective bottle.

Or just be sure to pick up some DayQuil next time you're out.

Blasphemy! You were supposed to use Dayquil. Duh!

Please stay indoors and wait for the authorities.

:p (hope you feel better)

Edit: Dayum, too slow...

Does Dayquil just use less alcohol to not give you the sleepy buzzy feeling?

i've been taking nyquil before i sleep and it knocks me out cold until the morning.

i'm afraid to take it during the day because i don't want to get drowsy.

maybe the nyquil hasn't hit you yet...

Funny you mention Nyquil.
I'm sick right now and I've been chugging Dayquil all day.
I've taken Nyquil during the day before and if you can get over the initial grogginess, it goes away.

My MIL gave me some Tylenol PM once when I asked her for something for a headache. I didn't know what it was until I was too sleepy to stand up anymore. "OOPS" :|

Anyway, Nyquil takes awhile to work, and doesn't always make me sleepy.

take either one you want, because your cold doesn't give a sh!t what time it is!

Ahh ok :) I took some Nyquil Caplets at work once. I was about ready to go find an empty office to sleep in.

Daytime Cold Med'd disclaimer: May cause drowsiness
Nighttime cold med's disclaimer: May cause sleeplessness

Nquil liquid stuff (not gelcaps, etc) works for me for nighttime, only one that makes me sleepy-er and gives fast results.

The other brands I generally get antsy and can't sleep.

Colds suck. Hope you feel better soon.

nyquil is pretty potent stuff but if you guys want an ass kicker then try tylenol cold and flu cool burst. it has twice the power of nyquil. i will bow to you if you can take 2 tbsp and not go to sleep.
