What the gently caress is this poo poo? Is it really this easy to take people's money?!



For a mere $7, you can buy a 48 pack of Zzzquil tablets, from the makers of Nyquil!

What does it do? Well, as the z's would indicate it helps you sleep! How does it do this? Some magical mix of unique ingredients? No! Through 25 mg of diphenhydramine. That's right, the exact same stuff in generic brand sleep pills and allergy tablets! For $8 I recently bought a 600 pack of 25 mg diphenhydramine pills, because they do in fact work at making me tired and helping me sleep. That is 1.3 cents per pill. Zzzquil is 14.6 cents per pill! Over 11 times the cost for the exact same thing!

gently caress YOU ZZZQUIL

Gonna read your post to help me fall asleep tonight.

But my post is so angry, won't raise your blood pressure and make sleeping more difficult?

dph is also a fantastic deliriant if taken at high enough doses and can make you trip some hard but often scary balls

I actually did that once and it was the most hosed up thing ever, I was having full on hallucinations and talking to people who would disappear in the middle of the conversation.

Ah, to be young and stupid again.

Drugs are bad OctoberBlues

You are on the record stating that legal drugs like caffeine are just fine and diphenhydramine is legal. :colbert:

my favorite is having a flu and looking at the wall of loving flu products and trying to look at the text to see which ones have phelylephrine

phenylephrine might say 'decongestant' and used in place of pseudophedrine but it is 100% useless. that is not hyperbole it's never been proven to be better than placebo in clinical trials

but they still hock that poo poo at you for $8 a blister pack even though it won't do poo poo. hey, you can't make meth out of it :grin:

Are you in the US? I was under the impression that they can't sell pseudophedrine otc anywhere, every time I have bought it in I have to talk to the pharmacist and sign a sheet of paper, lol. So when I look at the giant wall of products, I just look for the ones that have little cards instead of boxes, that's the good poo poo!

Benadryl seems to work for me every night, it kicks in after about 45 minutes and I feel the same way every time, heavy and tingly. I've forgotten it a few times and wondered why the hell I wasn't falling asleep before realizing, so I don't think it is a placebo, maybe I'm just extra sensitive to it.

I can't sleep after I smoke, I used to be able to back in college, but now it seems to make me hyper aware of my body in a way I can't explain and I can't fall asleep.

Isn't there research now saying that indica vs sativa doesn't really matter? I think it matters more how it's grown as opposed to sativa/indica. Or at least that's what the weed scientists these days are saying.
