Fast forward to now, and a few days ago I got the chance to take some Nyquil gel caps. Being that it's been a while since last having some, I figured I would go with just half the recommended dosage, just 1 capsule. I woke up the next morning with swollen, sensitive, red lips and my tongue was the same way too. I've had that reaction to a sleep aid pill before so I knew what happened. I went over to the box and looked at the active ingredients. Sure enough the culprit, doxylamine succinate was on the list. I thought Nyquil used a different ingredient before but it doesn't matter now. The ironic part is the ingredient I am allergic to is the antihistamine!! How can I be allergic to the ingredient that's supposed to be preventing allergies? Rayne fail. So now that there is absolutely no upside to getting sick, I better figure out a way to never catch anything again...lol.
