Dude, you want to see some fucked up shit, look up dextromethorphan on the internet. One of the active ingredients in all cold medicine (DayQuill included). When I was younger, I used to have a drug problem (pre Army) and that was one of the drugs I used to abuse (could get it in pure form from a site on the internet that doesn't exist anymore, thank god for the FDA). I used to take that shite to get fucked up. Over the counter cold medicine is bad news. I don't even take Aspirin anymore.
Stay away from DayQuil!!! GRRRRRRRRR
Alright, as some of you know I had a job interview today at a job I've been persuing for a while... I have a slight cold/sore throat, so I figured I'd get some dayquil, it always works, so why not right?
Last night Miki and I went to Ikea... I took some DayQuil right before we left and thought nothing of it. When we got to Ikea I started feeling really dizzy and sort of sick to my stomach... I counldn't think clearly and it was affecting my motor functions... I chalked it up to the flu and being sick... I feared that it would get worse the next day for my interview...
Next morning I wake up and I feel pretty good... Sore throat like usual and some minor caughing. Drank a glass of chocolate milk and a granola bar, headed off to the interview.... While in my car I remembered I had DayQuil in the glove box so I popped 2 pills so I'd be good for my interview.
Well, and hour into my interview I get violently ill... I couldn't finish the interview and had to reschedule (which totally sucks because this is my future). This could have very well cost me my job. I was really pissed off that I was sick but I couldn't really blame myself because, well, I was friggin sick, and it happens.
I got home and a couple hours went by, and now I feel great... sore throat still, but thats it.
I call Miki and we were talking about what could have caused the sickness... I told her that I took Dayquil before the interview (I've always taken it, works fine... ) She then asked me what was in DayQuil, I told her Tylenol, Dextromorphan, and psuedoephedrine (spelling?!)... She then says "No...". No dayquil has a new formula that is "Psuedoephedrine-free"... they replaced it with a drug called "phenylephrine"... The reason being is because drug users abuse psuedoephedrine and make crack out of it (or some crap) so they changed it...
Turns out the drug "phenylephrine" has a slew of side effects including:
I'm so pissed! Stay away from that crap!
c/n: Dayquil changed ingredients and added "phenylephrine" which has mad side effects and made me really ill for my job interview.
