I mean, is Nyquil-guzzling the latest Officially Recognized Problem? If so, the people doing it must be pretty hard up for a fix of some kind. I haven't taken Nyquil in years, but I recall it wasn't the most pleasant-tasting substance. |

Nyquil has one of the most powerful hypnotics known to man in it, and it also used to have Pseudoephedrine. They changed the formula now though and you have to buy Nyquil D to get what used to be the original Nyquil. The new stuff doesn't work nearly as well.

I agree with what they say about phenylephrine being nothing more than a placebo. When I had the flu, I kept wondering why Nyquil wasn't doing a damn thing for my runny nose like it used to. When I researched why my Claritin D (taken in desperation one night during said flu episode so I could get some sleep) worked and Nyquil didn't, I found out about the reformulation. |

Why would you take a decongestant for a runny nose? You should take an anti-histamine. Also, Claritin D would not allow you to sleep because the psuedoephedrine would keep you awake (it is a stimulant). You should have taken Benadryl if you wanted to fall asleep and dry up your runny nose. |

I was so tired I didn't care about the stimulant, but I kept "almost" falling asleep and waking up gasping because I couldn't breath through my nose.
I'm not sure why, but the Claritin D worked and dried my nose up so I could sleep.
I'll remember the Benadryl tip the next time I need something to clear up a runny nose because I hate the way Claritin D makes me feel. |

Doesn't Nyquil have a lot of alcohol as well? drunks and kids under the legal age can buy Nyquil and Listerine and drink it fast to get a buzz (drunk).

Allegra-D = antihistamime + Sudafed (pseudoephedrine)
claritin-D is the same as well. Any of the allergy medications that have the -D uses Sudafed.
I loved Seldane when it was available... |
