Dude gave me a prescription for some kind of kick ass cough syrup with vicodin in it. Or valium, I don't know. Adrenochrome.

1. Supression of a cough is treating a symptom, not the cause....
but a after a few drinks, who gives a shit.

8. triguy is right...
but try ascorbic acid (Vitamin C powder) instead. Just mix a tablespoon or so in your water or juice and keep drinking till you feel better.

2. Hmm...
http://www.askapatient.com/index.asp

Found no entry for "adrenochrome" but plenty of tales for the other two.

After looking around here, I usually find it best to just say no to nearly all drugs whenever possible.

Since this is the DU lounge: This helps me with my flu like sypmtoms.

3. You can't "askapatient" about adrenochrome, you gotta ask a doctor!
or look in seedier parts of the interwebs.

4. NyQuil
the original with real decongestant -- the kind you now must get from behind the pharmacy counter because of the damn tweakers.



Cherry flavor, not the nasty green stuff.

9. Original DayQuil was some wacky shit too...
....I remember having a rather nasty cough and taking some DayQuil, and then just having the feeling I was floating away peacefully.

That stuff made having colds actually sort of fun. Then they changed the ingrediants and watered it down. It's just not the same any more.

11. You can still get the good stuff
but it's behind the pharmacy counter. Damn tweakers.

I know what you mean though -- kind of like Bill Murray in "What About Bob?" when he's tied to the mast in the boat: I'm saaaaaaiiillliiiinnnnngggggg!

I need the free entertainment.
