NyQuil: Not for Me

by mobaglady , Nov 13 '01
Pros: none
Cons: Doesn't work! Keeps me wired ALL night
I've tried various OTC cold remedies and few of them live up to their billing. They either don't work for me at all or else they have unpleasant side effects, like causing my mouth to dry out or making me feel all spacy. Vicks NyQuil Liquid falls into...

by br00ke6 , Oct 04 '01
Pros: Relieves your stuffy, achyhead, sniffling, sneezing.. ETC... and doesn't taste like MOTOR OIL!
Cons: Like other Nyquil/sleeping aids, leaves you a little disorientated for a while.
Everytime I get sick, I usually go to the doctor because I need an excuse for work/school. This time I did not feel like paying my 10 dollar co-pay, and fortunately, Fall break had started in school, and I did not have to be at work until 6pm the next...

NyQuil--When You Need A Good Night's Sleep

by springhill , Mar 12 '01
Pros: Will Definitely help you sleep, relieves several cold symptoms.
Cons: May leave you drowsy the next morning, tastes pretty bad.
In my opinion, the worst part about having a cold is being up all night coughing and sneezing. No matter how hard you try, you just can't seem to get any amount of sleep. This makes the next day worse because not only are you sick, you are tired as...

by Flavia , Nov 25 '00
Pros: eases symptoms, helps you rest

Pros: Cures your cold symptoms
Cons: The green flavor is really really nasty.
If you have a cold you need Nyquil! Nothing else I've found fixes you up better. Just don't use it if you plan on going anywhere, it will make you drowsy.

Basically NyQuil is cold medicine. Just like the ads say, if you have a stuffy head,...

Pros: works great on coughs, colds, and fevers
Cons: Only use at night, can buy the same generic product at a much lower price
Vick's Nyquil is the best product for colds to use at night. It has ingredients that will dry up your nose, suppress coughs, and help reduce fevers, aches, pains, etc. Since it also has alcohol in it, it does "knock" you out at night. It is...

To Sleep or Not To Sleep

Pros: Makes you feel better and sleep better.
Cons: The liquid type isn't the best tasting medicine you will find.
NyQuil, ahhh, what is there to say except you can really get a good night's rest? When a cold hits me hard I turn to NyQuil. Not only does it help you sleep, but it actually helps relieve your symptoms.

New Formula does not work at all
by jimbar99 ,Dec 27 '06
Pros: The new ineffective formula doesn't taste as bad as the original.
Cons: Does not achieve the desired effect so is worthless.
The new formula that does not contain pseudoephedrine absolutely does not work. Don't buy it. I bought some because my head was stuffed up and went to bed thinking I would be able to breathe and sleep, but I was wrong. After a night of tossing and turning and mouth-breathing with little if any sleep, I got up and looked at the bottle only to find that Vicks had changed the formula to remove the sudafed so they can still sell it on the shelf without involving the pharmacist. That prevents the meth lab people from buying it but also means the end for NyQuil as far as I am concerned.

nyquil-not what it used to be
by perry9696 ,Feb 12 '07
Pros: Nyquil does offer multiple ingredients for the common cold.
Cons: It no longer helps to relieve all of the symptoms.
I used to use Nyquil for any of the advertised ailments-i.e. aches, fever, etc. but mostly for the "stuffy nose" problem. Now that drug users have forced Vick's and other companies to remove the one ingredient that relieved the stuffy nose symptom (pseudoephedrine) the once "all you need medicine" is no longer the same. If this is the relief that you are searching for, Nyquil is not the answer.

NyQuil - When you need to stay up all night!
by blatherton ,Feb 03 '05
Pros: Taste isn't all that bad, helped my cold symptoms for a bit
Cons: Kept me wide awake nearly the whole night long
So, I hear that NyQuil is supposed to be a wonder drug that will knock you out for the whole night when you have a cold. Not quite! It kept me wired all night long. I did go to sleep for about 40 minutes after I took it, but then once the drugs started to kick in, I woke up wired and my heart was pounding. I was wide awake and couldn't get back to sleep until 3AM.

I am writing this now the morning after and I am still miserable from my cold and suffering from only getting 3 hours of off and on sleep last night.
