...the meth-heads who discovered they could cook up meth with pseudoephedrine;
...the .gov geniuses who foisted the Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act of 2005 on us;
or
...Vicks, for caving in and FUCKING WITH MY BELOVED NYQUIL because of the above two items...
I want my original NyQuil, dammit. And if I have to start tossing meth-heads and ball-less bureaucrats under a bus to get it, just give me the number for Greyhound...

No shit.
I hate being carded for simple sinus headache medicine. Some little 17 year old pharmacy clerk trying to guilt-trip me any time I buy a 12 or 24 pack is simply insulting. Pseudoephedrine hcl and acetomenophen is about the only non-prescription thing that really does anything for me.
Nyquil WAS the only thing that let me dry up enough to sleep when I get a bad cold and now that it seems they've taken anything that actually works out of it, I might as well drink a warm cup of Skoal spit. It'd work as well as this reformulated crap and the taste is probably about the same.

Feel better, Jay!
Hope you're feeling better.
If it's a sinus headache, we've recently started using an herbal nasal spray with capsaicin (pepper) and it has worked wonders. Now, here's the caveat and I want to emphasize this caveat (if it wouldn't bust your screen, I'd bold this baby with 72 font....I'm serious about this): it burns like a mofo for about 20 seconds. After 20 seconds everything is fine and soon it starts to work and in a few minutes you're better. But, honestly, it's like sticking a thin poker into molten lava and then shoving it into your nasal membranes. Not an exaggeration.
Can't cure a head cold or anything, but it has helped tremendously with the sniffles and expecially slight headaches. To both me & the wifey, it's "worth" the 20 seconds of hell. Oh, in case you didn't read closely, it HURTS LIKE YOUR SCROTUM IS GETTING WAXED (or so I'd assume). You've been duly warned about the pain.
Definitely worth it, though. Sorta like listerine for throat germs; hurts for a while & burns while gargling but the results are so beneficiary that you're willing to endure it. Times a hundred. Thousand.
And I'm planning on a post on this (yeah, right) but for sleep I definitely endorse melatonin, which is also natural. Helped me recently cure a 26 year insomnia problem.
Oh, please tell me you're f*%$ing kidding?
They didn't change NYQUIL, of all things, did they? That was my failsafe, my last-ditch "I WILL get some sleep tonight" medicine!!!
Now, it will not work. Simple as that. Grrrr...
Oh, well. Here's to hoping YOU feel better, sir.

When all else fails, some jalapeños for the sinuses, followed by a couple of shots of tequila to help go to sleep.
When I need the cure, I do the following:
2 extra strength tylenol
2 25mg benadryl
1 4oz shot of sweet kosher wine
(i.e. Maneschewitz concord grape)
Works wonders.
The old Nyquil had 60mg of Pseudoephedrine hcl oer dose. Each little red pill is 10mg. Last season I resorted to making the good stuff myself.
