1. never touch the stuff

It keeps me awake, I swear to GOD!

2. NyQuil

is 70 proof. We used to do NyQuil shooters after a night of vodka and cocaine, when the sun was coming up....

3. I once took some

and woke up hours later in the kitchen floor with the sticky spoon still in my hand. Evil, evil stuff.

4. that sh*t's NASTY.

The robitussins are the ONLY way to go and the drug stores always have a comparable store brand for half the price.

23. lessons not to learn the hard way

when your drug crazy buddy (picture Bender from Futurama, but not a robot) comes home with a few bottles of robitussin and says "we should each drink one, it will be so much fun."

He is wrong, very wrong. It is like a moonbounce and the flu on top of a hangover.

5. My savior

But only the "cherry" flavor variety. (Why I use quotes around the word cherry should be obvious enough.) The other stuff is potent enough to take down a horse. Even though the "cherry" flavor is not that much better, I only need it when my nose is so stuffed up that I can't taste anyway, and I down it like a shot. Which is what it pretty much is, to be honest.

6. NyQuil is a GREAT otc drug...

What a beautiful sleep: antihistimines and alcohol!
Too bad the Tylenol mixed in can kill your liver...

7. And Now it Comes in LiquiCaps!!!!!

I once flew back from a vacation in Mexico hopped up (actually down if I think about it)on a combination of Nyquil and Dramamine.

To qoute Robin Williams - "If you don't see God after that, you never will"

8. theory

The medicine in it doesn't work. It is just that your body is so repelled by the taste that it gets better so you don't have to drink it again.

[PopSixSquish]

9. Not A Bad Theory...

please take note, do not under any circumstances take NyQuil after brushing your teeth.

Heaven help me, but I thought I was going to die right there on the bathroom floor.

10. Not When It's On A Doughnut...

11. helps me sleep when i can't..

if i dont have any ambien, a LARGE dose of nyquil will put me out post-haste. yes, it tastes like shit.. better than going to work on 2 hours sleep from staring at the ceiling all night though..

[elfwitch]

12. here is a cocktail for you

Try two benadryl and a white zinfindel. Works every time.

13. I Once Took More Than The Recommended Dose

Like double the dose and man oh manishevitz!

I was up all night totally tripping! Seriously, really tripping, walls melting and everything! The active ingredient in Nyquil is essentially barbituates and alcohol...

[LizW]

14. When I'm really, really sick

and absolutely MUST sleep and get better, Nyquil's the stuff.

Of course, you have to survive that convulsive combo gag/full body shiver that comes right after you down the dose.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

15. I love NyQuil

NyQuil and DayQuil have saved me soooo many times.

[gyopsy]

16. Popular among students

That stuff will get you fucked up faster than you can imagine and it's very powerful. I know people who have abused the stuff and used it in place of alcohol.

[Nikia]

17. I can't take stuff like that

Pseudoephedrine causes me to have bad panic attacks and has some kind of interaction with my blood pressure medicine which is maybe why I get panic attacks when I take it. I mentioned that to a pharmacist who said that pseudoephedrine really isn't good for anyone anyway. She didn't think that it should be in so many over the counter medicines.

18. No thank you I prefer gin.

[Catshrink]

19. Nyquil - a most excellent drug

when I'm stuffed up and can't sleep because of it, it works wonders-- but cherry flavor only. The original is too nasty.

And I'm so happy DayQuil is in capsules. The taste of that stuff is like drinking gasoline. (At least I imagine it to taste like gasoline, I do not know what gasoline tastes like but suspect it is totally nasty.)

20. big N small y BIG FUCKING Q

as Denis Leary would say

Green Death flavor is horrible but the red stuff works great for me

[zelda7743]

21. NyQuil is my best friend

When I'm sick and stuffy and crap. :)

[mykpart]

22. It's wonderful stuff.

Lets you hibernate right thru the flu! If you can't stand the taste, get the liquicaps. (but if you're really sick, you will need help getting them out of the packaging!)

[Padraig18]

24. Although the taste would gag a maggot...

... if you can get it down, it's wonderful stuff.
