I haven't found that many good cold medicines that relieved every symptom that I was having. The Advil series sux btw (excpet for Flu and Body Ache). Any suggestions?
Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
What do you guys think is the best cold medicine out there?

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Antibiotics. But those aren't over the counter

Nyquil is good for at night before you go to sleep because it will knock you out. There is a daytime version called Dayquil that works really good at relieving symptoms but it only lasts for 4 or 5 hours for each dose. There are products that give up to 12 hours for relief, you might want to try one of those. Antibiotics on the other hand, will only work for bacterial infections not if your cold is caused by a virus(most colds are).
I saw something new called Zicam which is supposed to reduce the severity and duration of a cold. I haven't tried it yet but I heard it works!
Good luck!

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
But zinc does work for a cold. If you feel like your getting a cold buy some of these tablets called "Cold Eeze" they have some zinc glucose mixture and it will get rid of the cold the same day it starts.
Seriously, its saved me like 3 times in the last year an a half.

You're not taking enough. Drink the whole bottle.

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

You are correct, however that source sucks to prove so
I looked into it some more on my own.

Heh the website wasnt meant to be a source about the antibiotics, rather it tells you effective treatments for colds.Originally posted by Shiftkey

Zicam is overpriced but works great for me. I had the beginning of a sore throat on thurs night. Bought it and sprayed it into my mouth like mad (every 1.5 hours instead of the 3 that is says to), Fri I still had symptoms till about 3pm when most of them went away. Im fine now. So it shortened the cold alot. This is the second time that it helped me so it must work because my colds usually take about a week or two to run themselvs out

I would not recommend taking over 100mg of zinc a day.
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

fitnessguy, what are the side affects of taking too much zinc? I didnt have anywhere near 100mg but I was taking 2x the dosage for a day.

Abdominal cramping, diarrhea, vomiting, increased risk for prostate cancer, and anemia. Also the more zinc you have, the less copper you have, and the less good cholesterol.
If in general you eat a high protein diet you probably have a good amount of zinc in your system so don't have to worry about being in a deficiency. If you take a multi-vitamin you are probably getting plenty of zinc with that and your diet. If you are not, supplementing with say a 50mg pill of zinc is fine I would think.
