After taking recommended cold medicines for a few days, I’ve come to find that I am having a ridiculously difficult time sleeping despite being sick and exhausted.
That’s when I realize that every goddamn medicine has at least 80mg of caffeine so I was getting a dose of around 200mg right before bed. I’m pissed. Even regular ibuprofen seems to be loaded with caffeine.
I miss NyQuil so much.
Anyway, anyone know of some cold medicines or pain relief medicines that don’t have caffeine in them?

Have you taken a Covid test? Sick and exhausted sounds like me when I had it last month. Call for a free test. They give free medication too

Plain old Baffarin in the blue package has no caffeine.

Be careful though, because it is barebones, it doesn’t have a fancy strong acid guard, so you should try to eat a lot before ingesting it. And don’t ingest it right before bed. Try an hour, and a half before.
