    Best OTC PM medicine to help you sleep?

    I've been fighting a head cold and I was wondering if tylenol PM is good or nyquil or whatever else there may be. What do you guys feel is the best to help you sleep?

    NyQuil rocks. Just remember that it has loads of sugar and alcohol in it if you are cutting.

    i had these capsules made by tylenol they were specifically for head colds. i liked them because i felt better in the mornings. nyquil or tylenol pm just knock me out and dont seem to fix the problem. take some echinasea during the day also, should help get rid of it quick.

    Be careful with nyquil. I'm allergic to something in it and when i take it im up for two nights, and feel like i just did 20 lines of speed along with bad hallucinations.

    no...

    instead of tylenol pm why not just by plain old benedryl? that's the ingredient in the tylenol pm that's putting you to sleep. that way you can avoid taking lots of tylenol that could be harsh on the liver.

    Bingo!! Buy the generic bottle of benadryl caps at Wal-Mart for $5. It'll last you a long time. Melatonin didn't make me sleepy. It did make me have wild dreams though. :spudniklu

    Haha!! I don't even want to begin to talk about the crazy dreams I had while taking that stuff. Anyway, Benadryl is just diphenhydramine. 25mg per cap I'm sure. If you want to fall asleep faster, just break open the capsule and pour it into a drink with some taste. Don't do it with water, because the powder is real bitter. :spudniklu

    I got this little sleepy bastard recipe i use, I put 2-3 melatonins in my mouth and chase them down with 60 ml of Nyquil, it will knock you right out!! If you have severe insomnia you can drink your Nyquil cocktail while smoking a J and that my friend will stop a charging Rhino
