In my experiences with old NyQuil it was enough to make you drowsier. And getting to sleep was the primary objective of NyQuil.
Back in my college days you could replicate it with one 30mg Sudafed and a shot of Jagermeister. =)
- sva_ 5y ago> NyQuil I don't know about this medication in particular (since I don't live in the US), but I see it contains DXM (dextromethorphan), which is a dissociative (such as ex. ketamine), which probably causes the effects you described. I'm seeing it also contains acetaminophen, which probably makes it hard on your kidneys, if you take too much, so that is probably why people don't abuse it more (I guess or hope).
- genewitch 5y agoin the US Robitussin DM is the one you get if you aim for disassociation(?) - NyQuil is explicitly a sleep aid with some other stuff mixed in, I'd have to go dig a bottle out but i think the active ingredient is an anti-histamine (diphenylhydramine i think) - as a sleep aid, mind you. It is true that NyQuil used to have alcohol, and didn't have DXM or acetaminophen. If the liquid you are looking at is Orange, that's the "daytime" stuff, and that's overpriced garbage. One could buy generic "tussin DM" (or pill form of dextro), mucinex (for guafenasin), and benadryl (or generic diphenylhydramine) to get the same usefulness that a bottle of liquid NyQuil has.
