dayquil

Is it just me, or does this stuff make anyone else feel really odd?

[vesperstina]

this is fun to take with eating chocolate and drinking coffee towards the end of the cold.

that shit can get you high as fuck if you drink enough of it. i've heard of some kids on the news that overdosed on that stuff. they drank loads of it though.

It makes me all crazy and jittery...but then again, that's what coffee does to me too.. =) I just hate having a quickened heartbeat...my brain and body don't cope too well with it.

correct me if I'm wrong, but I think dayquil DOES contain caffeine. I think I remember learning that if its labelled "non-drowsy", there's a good chance it's got caffeine in it.

Drinking Dayguil and other cough syrup is a problem in the southern part of the United States. Many addicts dont even consider it an addiction because they think its only cough syrup. Some doctors think its more addictive that crack. This is why in some states cough syrup is behind the counter.

Supposldy is slows everything down and that is why all the hip-hop artists have "chopped" up tracks.

but caffeine doesn't have to be listed as an ingedient if it's 'naturally occurring'....

anyways... this was just something that came up in my health class and I thought my teacher mentioned something about caffeine being in products being non-drowsy. whether or not it's the caffeine that contributes to these non-drowsy effects, I don't know...

i'm certain that there is no naturally occuring caffeine. the pseudoephedrine is what gives that extra jolt of energy. it's fucking awesome.

its the dxm in it which produces the high... a lot of ecstacy tabs out there have dxm as filler and its really dangerous because it'll cause dehydration

more addictive than crack?!?!?

they gotta be fuckin kidding.
DXM no more addictive than ketamine I've found, possibly even less cos of how fuckin wierd it is.

DXM is a disassociative, like ketamine.

Except it lasts about 6 times as long.

and its about 100 times as wierd at high doses.



wanna see how wierd it gets?

go watch some sealab.
or the Brak show.


if ya don't believe me, go drink a bottle of extra strengh Dry cough syrup (had DXM and nothing else in it) and tell me how it goes.

Christina's right, it's the pseudoephedrine that makes you feel alert. Having too much of that stuff in your system can give you a false positive on a meth drug test because it's used to produce it. I took a drug test in the summer time and had to tell my doctor exactly how much of Buckley's Cough meds I'd taken because it contains pseudoephedrine too.

no its not..the last time i used dayquil it fucked me up so bad i had to leave school, and when i was driving home i almost ran someone over. So i dont use that stuff when im sick anymore.


i think its because the medicine inside that makes the dayquil os effective is a powerful depressant/sedative and they add a wack load of pseudoepherdine to ensure that one dosnt pass out. thus the combination of depressant and stimulant is probably what makes us feel so fucked up.

[Mo...]

dayquil.. hahaha, never tried it... but Buckleys really does taste awfull and it works ;)

[ebbomega]

Heh. I remember when Wildcard Mike had a cold one day, his typical solution is to carry some cough syrup with him and if he coughs, he swigs. Basic "Drown it out" attack.

So he buys some Dayquil or something like it. He takes a couple swigs, starts feeling the world walk a bit towards the sideways level, looks at the side and reads out:

"Dextromethohhhh SHIT!"

I think he had fun that day. Especially whilst trying to code. Anyways, later he moved on using the drowning out method with Buckley's. It worked rather well, but I dunno if it was more the method or the operant conditioning involved with making his coughing stop. Which brings me to the conclusion that it's quite probable that everything in Buckley's is outright placebo, and as such I refuse to use it.

Course, those are my own excuses, but what they hey.

fuck, i've had some weird trips from half a bottle, 150mg. complete ego loss. i forgot who i was, where i was, and what i was doing. i swear i de-evolved for an hour or so. but next time i was more prepared for it.

[kidmanic]

Nyquil is not good. Gotta get the kind with little to no Acetaminophen in it if you can otherwise you're on your way to the hospital.
We downed about 2/3 a bottle of no name brand "DM" around 8 or 9pm
WORST NIGHT EVER!! I really felt it after half an hour, felt so fucking nauseas and on the verge of the runs at the same time so I couldn't decide whether to run to a bathroom or continue throwing up. but since walking wasn't an option I crawled along the side of the highway throwing up every once in a while. When you finally can walk it's like floating!!
At around 4am, it was totally awesome though, cos I was really hyper and completely refreshed after an hour of sleep.

The moral of the story is.. DXM is legal and easy to do but if you're gonna do it, do the extraction!! It's well worth it and you don't get sick from the supersweetness of the syrup.

[Iokua]

This is so sad :soak:

[kimmay candy]

omg you relize ur all talking about what fucks you up in cough syrup? hahahaha
