Going to a bar till 3am I think than off to Aria from prolly 3am-7 or 10am for an amazing DJ who's playing tonight. GRRRRRr and it's a friends b-day and I have to many ppl relying on me to go to back out. Does anyone know some meds that will keep me healthy tonight? :dead:

Just remember, if you're pumpin the cold medicine don't drink too much. And drink lots of water.

Dayquill usually works for me or the tylenol cold stuff.

Dayquil and some Afrin nasal spray for sinus. The afrin will get rid of anything in ur nose and dry it up so u got nothing dripping after like 30 mins. works for me when i got parties to goto.

HAHA I was about to take some dayquil but apparently it's dangerous to take with my oher meds. I just popped a bunch of extra strength tylenol. Gonna keeo the bottle on me all night. Most people with think I'm popping X or speed every hour lol. Aria doesn't serve drinks only energy drinks. 95% of the people are on some drug or another. :drool: :eek:

this is just extra strength tylenol
You need to be careful with that stuff and don't take more than recommended. I know you said you weren't taking dayquil, but a lot of cold remedies also have acetaminophen in them.


On June 24, 2003, 17-year-old Kellie Lynn McWilliams was suffering with pain from a Migraine attack and turned to Tylenol for pain relief. In pain and probably tired and groggy, Kellie took approximately 20 of the 500 mg acetaminophen capsules. That translates to ingesting 10 grams of acetaminophen; the maximum recommended within 24 hours is four grams.

When Kellie became ill, repeatedly vomiting, she was taken to the hospital. She told her mother, "I thought it was OK. It's just Tylenol, Ma." The side effects of the overdose caused kidney and liver damage resulting in organ failure, which caused her death on June 28. According to Dr. Bill Banner, Medical Director of the Oklahoma Poison Control Center, an antidote is available, but it has to be administered within 18 hours of taking the acetaminophen.

Uhm - you said you feel better now, but said to NOT take pain killers. I don't get it.

Hope you feel better soon, so you can go back to making no sense for no reason. :)
