Hey that's some top notch advice you've got going on there! I didn't know the answer could be so simple! I figured there must be some magic formula that only the nyquil elves could achieve mastery of. This is great news for dreamers everywhere. Thanks for your comment! Hi Anonany!

Psuedoephedrine (a decongestant) was taken out of the regular formulation. It was responsible for relieving the "stuffy head" symptom. It is also a stimulant, and with some simple chemical alteration can be sold on the street as a what some call "crystal meth". It can also elevate dopamine levels, though, so may have something to do with the dreamy effect you like. I don't really understand the fuss. What/who prevents you from buying the over the counter NyQuil, getting a box of generic sudafed from the pharmacist, and taking two with the NyQuil. Violá! Old formula NyQuil. Stop griping and get your dream on. Save yourself a few bucks and get some generic Unisom (also doccylamine succinate, but twice as strong per dose) and a shot of whiskey instead of the NyQuil.

No dice. Kroger, Meijer and WalMart no longer carry that item. Haven't tried Walgreens or CVS, but I'm afraid it might be the same.
