So, this happens every year. I get a sore throat that drives me crazy (I work on the phone, I'm not a telemarketer or bill-collector!), anyway my co-worker offers me some DayQuil and I say 'No.. I hate cold meds.' and she says 'Oh! It's non-drowsy!'
I take it and now I'm high as a freakin kite. Seriously, I've been a recreation drug user for years, but I really hate this. I just want it to go away and have a sore throat, but last time I took cold meds I could feel it for three days.
Any suggestions on how to shorten the process?

Heh, okay. You're misunderstanding.
Cough drops I have, but thanks for the tips there, I'll look into those things..
But.. what can I do to make me less loopy from this DayQuil?

Honestly...suck on zinc losenges. They make hard-candy-like pieces that you suck on and I saw a program ~10 years ago that it can cut the duration of a cold by about a half. I just did it myself about 3-4 months ago and it worked like a charm. I got the sore through, but never entered the coughing/congestion phase. I'm sure it works for some people and not others...give it a try.
