    Is Nyquil as potent as it used to be? I have a bad head cold and cough and usually when I take it it twists my head around as though I had drunk a shot of alcohol. Not the stuff I took tonight, this was nothing. Hope is does the job.

    might be that they watered it down due to the latest 'robotripping' fad.

    Wonder when it became a "fad". The bipolar dude I spoke of in an
    earlier thread was doing it in the early 70's.

    Oh, give me a bottle of Nyquil
    The recool itl sleep my body needs.
    Yeh, give me a bottle of Nyquil,
    Just can't sleep 'less my tongue is GREEN.

    It used to have about 20% alcohol and some phun pharms in it, but nowadays every drug company is worried about ephedra bans and product placement, so they lose the ephedra or go behind the counter.

    Nyquil has been my #1 choice for years but the las time I used it didn't help. I wonder if they have changed the formula.

    hhmm... if it seems like it used to have more alcohol in it, but now it doesn't, wonder how it would work if you... put some alcohol in it! [:0] like jaegermeister

    The Tylenol commercial I just watched the other night for their new cold/cough/ache liquid states that Nyquil has removed one important ingredient implying that it's not as effective as Tylenol's..

    the expectorant has been removed. That speeds oxygen into your blood as the congestion is broken up,..thus that wonderful "euphoric" feeling you used to get. I notice it is not as good,..but it still breaks that crap in your head loose before bed time so you can at least fall asleep.

    It used to be 35% alcohol, 70 proof, why don't they need an ATF stamp to sell that stuff?

    Walmart limits anyone under 21 from buying more than 2 bottles at a time.

    Well it did the trick. I got a good nights sleep. Guess this means I have to go to work this afternoon. [:(]

    My dad says it used to have codeine in it. Once they dropped that, not worth squat. In the navy they would give sick sailors pure codine. Worked great.

    I always take my nyquil with a shot of warm liquor. Helps a lot. Schnapps is best.

    Sigh, I never thought it was much good. Codeine sounds better.

    An' my belly is craving, I got shakin' in my head
    I feel like I'm dyin' an' I wish I were dead
    If I lived till tomorrow it's gonna be a long time
    For I'll reel and I'll fall and rise on codine
    An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time

    When I was a young man I learned not to care
    Wild whiskey, confronted I often did swear
    My mother and father said whiskey is a curse
    But the fate of their baby is many times worse
    An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time

    You'll forget your woman, you'll forget about man
    Try it just once, an' you'll try it again
    It's sometimes you wonder and it's sometimes you think
    That I'm a-living my life with abandon to drink
    An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time

    Stay away from the cities, stay away from the towns
    Stay away from the men pushin' the codine around
    Stay away from the stores where the remedy is found
    I will live a few days as a slave to codine
    An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time

    An' my belly is craving, I've got a shakin' in my head
    An' I've started heating whether my body said
    Steady yourself with the grains of cocaine
    An' you'll end dead or you'll end up insane
    An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time

    An' my belly is craving, I got shaking in my head
    I feel like I'm dyin' an' I wish I were dead
    If I lived till tomorrow it's gonna be a long time
    For I'll reel and I'll fall and rise on codine
    An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time
    An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time

    I had some that was about 5 years old and I took it, it knocked me out in about 10 minutes. Woke up the next morning and didn't have any kind of a cold left. Maybe just get some and age it for a few years.

    I called the old formula "Nyt-mare", because it used to give me wierd and sometimes scary dreams.
    Felt better the next morning, though....

    When I was a kid under the age of ten years old we were poor, )I didn't know it at the time), I can remember my Mom making her own nyquil useing a mixture of Rum/Honey/Lemon juice and that stuff would nock me right out no matter how sick I was.

    Rum,Honey & Lemon Juice sounds a lot like a tropical toddy, much tastier than Nyquil; Barbancourt 5-star Haitian Rum/Orange Blossom Honey/juice of 1 lemon MMMMMMMMMM!
