I’ve been sick all week and a bit on the search for something that will silence my cough through the night since I stay up all night coughing. I’m not exactly allowed to take NyQuil as I mentioned in my previous post why, so I picked these up at Target the other day in hopes they would work. Besides they have that AM/PM thing going on and I never tried that before. On the front, it seems to have every symptom I had covered. They had another one that looked exactly like this but was called something else… I never know what’s the big difference between these things…
So after I was running around Target singing at the top of my lungs “The Wizard & I” (and acting it out) and after my husband had to calm me down (who surprisingly wasn’t embarrassed and just followed me around laughing) I decided on these over the other ones.
I took the Day pills when I got home and after I had lunch. I can’t say if they really helped since I took a nap right after I took them. But according to my husband, I didn’t seem to have a hard time breathing and I wasn’t coughing in my sleep. So that’s a good sign! All I remember was how uncomfortable it was to sleep on the couch *shrug*.
I took the Night pills last night and I took it right before my shower in the even that it might make me drowsy. I didn’t check to see how many hours apart you were suppose to take these. By the time I had gone to bed, I think it had been four hours later and no, the PM did not make me drowsy (bummer). It wasn’t too helpful with my symptoms either, I didn’t have a runny nose but I was still coughing and my throat was still painfully sore. It did have a much more “cool burst” effect than the Day pill did. It was actual a nice effect and it made everything feel minty. Sleeping last night was horrible.
This morning I checked the box and it said to take every 2-4 hours which might explain why the Night pill didn’t work too well before I went to bed, in my opinion this is the downside to Tylenol. While other pain relievers last up to 6 hours, Tylenol is usually 2-4 hours. I did take the Day pill again this morning and if I’m not mistaken, it actually made me drowsy! Which was odd. It had a much more intense “cool burst” effect now that I had been awake through it. It seems as long as you’re getting that “cool” sensation, your symptoms will subside. It did a great job of handling my cough, my sore throat, my stuffy nose and my headache as well.
Overall, I’m pleased with this product. I’d give the Night pill another try, but other than that, I think I’ll stick to the Day pills when using this product :).

[...] thisGiRLisPOiSON.net « Review: Tylenol Cold [...]
[...] Saturday I was up early to catch Wicked at my mall. They were having a performance at 11AM, so I dragged myself out of bed only to find out that… they only sang two songs “Wizard & I” and “For Good” and they were two people I’ve never seen before, so I’m going to assume understudies? But they had amazing voices! I was disappointed it wasn’t longer and they didn’t perform any other songs… so we went to Panera after and had lunch then back home to go to Target so I could get husband some Rice Crackers and get me some Tylenol. I was singing and acting out “The Wizard & I” at Target cause I was just so deliriously sick at that point. Good thing my husband doesn’t get embarrassed by the things I do and good thing there wasn’t anyone really there at 1PM. Or maybe I was just too into my own little world… whatever! I got the Tylenol Cold with Cool Burst like I mentioned in my review. [...]
