Accepted Answer

: Nyquil has acetaminophen, dextromethorphan (cough suppressant)  and doxylamine an antihistamine Antihistamines make on cause drowsiness and Flexeril makes one very drowsy (what dose- 5 or 10 mg? ) so I would not take them together. Space them 4 hours -8 hours apart at least , as Flexeril is very sedating.

Ineffective: What is the duration of cough?
If more than 2-3 weeks, have you seen a doctor?
