Drink half a bottle of max strength tussin and you'll be feelin no pain. You might see space ships, but whatever kind of cold you have will be an after thought.
I actually tried that once and ended up in a robo-trip. Wired up all night long with no sleep.
There is a good home remedy that usually works for me with seasonal colds. make a cup of green tea and add a spoonful of honey, half of a freshly squeezed lemon and a shot of whiskey. Can sprinkle in a dash of cinnamon if need be.
I'll usually add a couple of xanax to that myself but that's just me.
It's actually called a tottie or something. Grandmother told me about it.
