Nyquil

The stuffy, sneezy, "why the hell is the room spinning? medicine!

Bleh. I've got a cold. It sucks. I couldn't sleep for shit last night. I picked up some Drixoral and Nyquil so I can manage to survive today.

You should probably try some Barbituates.

Heh. I always get the real stuff.

But actually, the nyquil I'm only gonna use to help me sleep. The drixoral is the stuff that really works wonders.

no, no, no. Always go for the generic nyquil. Higher alcohol percentage, at least around here.

If the generic nyquil makes a person feel worse, I would suspect that person has a low alcohol tolerance. The only rational course of action to take is to chip away at that tolerance with a regimen of steady drinking. Remember, sometimes the body needs a helping hand.

Nyquil dreams can be truly incredible, thoroughly enjoyable, and consistently forgettable. The peaceful bliss of ignorance in a bottle. Plus it mixes well with 7-UP, if one needs to administer it in cocktail form. Much classier than using the included plastic shotglass.

the only other cold remedy i know of that really works is Ranier Beer mixed with orange juice. Shake thoroughly, serve warm.

Buckleys is by far the best.. some people can't stand it b/c of the taste. My dad is a wuss and won't take it unless he is super sick.
I got adjusted to it during my germmy frosh year.. when I had bronchitis, an ear infection and the flu at the same time. My bf came to stay with me and brought me tons of meds.. I overdosed on this stuff.. the taste is nothing to me now. It will unclog everything and make your coughing ease up. I am usually better within a couple of days after using it...
It's slogan is actually: 'It tastes awful. And it works.'

How's Dayquil in comparison to Nyquil?

I think I took dayquil once and it wasn't that great...
Nyquil is good for knocking a person out so that they can have a goodnights sleep instead of hacking..
It is good to combine it w/ Buckley's in the day.. I think that there is night time formula also though...
I was getting an awful cold last week (due to the crazy weather change), so I took claritin nighttime pills and it made me all better.
Hopefully you are feeling okay now, Rosh!!!

Buckley's Taste

Why does it taste so bad?

Because Buckley's Mixture has a herbal base, ingredients such as Canada balsam, menthol, camphor and pine needle oil give Buckley's a taste which most people describe as awful.

Why don't you make it taste better?

Put simply, we can't. We believe the very ingredients that make it taste so bad are the very ingredients that make it work so well. Let's face it though, the sacrifice is well worth the relief it brings, isn't it?

How can I make it taste better?

Some recommendations from loyal Buckley's users are:

"Take it with a spoonful of honey"

"Mix it with a small amount of your favorite juice"

"Add a small amount of warm water to make it go down smoother"

"Drink some juice immediately after to chase the taste away"

"Plug your nose"

"Keep it in the refrigerator"

"Imagine GFY! jumping up and down"
