I hear it is the same with antihistamines too. They are now behind the counter if they have certain ingredients. Why don't they just put a sign on them "You can use these to make drugs!" You would think we moved out of the US - guilty until proven innocent. The whole Nyquil thing is crazy. I hear it is the same with antihistamines too.

It is such a pain to buy any meds anymore and I am thankful for the heads-up about the nyquil being on the watch list. I have never had a problem with this one,but haven't had to buy it for a while. <br/><br/>I am sure I am on the watch list too. But for us it is the Sudafed which puts us on it. You can only buy two boxes a day--no matter how many drugstores you you visit in any given day--boy oh boy they are tracking!<br/><br/>I bought my college age son some "over the counter Zyrtec" during allergy season when he happened to be home visiting. Then he said, he was all out of Sudafed and could I get him some of that also? Oh no! Because Zyrtec and Sudafed have the same pseudoephedrine ingredient I couldn't purchase any Sudafed that day--my daily allotment was used up buying the Zyrtec!<br/><br/>I wish I lived closer to Canada! You can get great over the counter stuff up there. There is a magic pain pill called a two-twenty two which is like an aspirin or ibuprofin with a little narcotic (codeine?) mixed in! Beats the heck out any over the counter stuff you can get down here!! ;)<br/><br/>*smiles*<br/>Kim This made me laugh!

We could pull out a card for the product and then bring it up to the pharmacy and buy it RIGHT THERE, not at the regular checkout. So if the pharmacy is closed and you need Nyquil in the middle of the night or you won't be able to sleep? Out of luck. <br/>It has gotten crazy.

I know why they do it and it is fine, but one box or bottle won't do whatever evil they think I might do with it. Anyway, 2 in 20 minutes? Somebody will probably be watching you! haha It just cracks me up when I have to sign forms and show ID to get some cold medicine.

And I am so glad I have asthma and am not allowed to take any green/red/purple/whatever concoctions. Pills are just so much better! That’s too weird!

But the last time I used it a couple of years ago it worked the exact opposite on me & I couldn't sleep, so I might be over my attraction to it!

There are about three places I buy it at - they must think I am up to something! But it's really just whereever I am near when I think of it. I do the same thing with Advil Cold & Sinus.
