Has anyone taken Night Nurse for Covid?

Just that really. Could do with a solid sleep to help me recover.

Yes, for the first four days. Magic.

I did. It made me feel groggy but to be honest I was feeling shit anyway, but it really did help for a few days.

Right I'm going to ask someone to leave some on my doorstep. I remember taking it many years ago for a heavy cold and I slept like a log. I really struggle to sleep when I can't breathe through my nose.

Yep 👍 slept 12 hours too

I love that stuff.

Maybe don't take the full dose if you're easily affected by medication. It works but it's potent.

Haven't taken it for Covid but have for colds etc. It's brilliant stuff but you need to take it maybe 2 hours before your usual bedtime and go to bed early as I find it can make you really groggy in the morning.

Ahhhh Night Nurse 😛

Yes it's my favourite tipple. Slept beautifully the nights I've had it, forgot last night and awake with aches and pains until 5am.

I'm so gutted I was going to get some for dd who has covid but then she said she didn't want it. Now I have covid and so congested and desperate for sleep and would love night nurse ! It's great stuff .

Just sent OH out to get some

Putting it on the list. Got my positive today, feeling like crap and running out of paracetamol!!!

I now know what to ask for if a neighbour asks at any point if I need anything . I have lovely neighbours but they are all keeping well away (lone parent but thankfully not young children).

Day nurse is good too btw .

Yes I took it, I took the capsules and only needed one (adult dose is 2).
Brilliant stuff.

I took night nurse each night when I had covid but it ended up giving me heart palpitations. The gp told me to stop taking them and then they went . Was a bit worried as didn’t know what was causing them.

If you are struggling to breathe through your nose, have you tried sudafed spray?
I have difficulty sleeping when congested and it really works.

It helped me get through covid.

I take night nurse for occasional insomnia. Never mind being ill. It's the stuff.

Yep, amazing stuff, had the joy of covid + wisdom toothache at the same time and it was the only way to sleep at all.

Piriton tablets works as well .

@Frostine

Piriton tablets works as well .

Not as well as night nurse. But they give you a leg up.

I second piriton.

Yes, for the first 5 days. Magic in a bottle 😊

Night nurse. Vics on chest and back.nasal spray. Water and lucozade by the bed.
Good 10 hours sleep

I love night nurse and the Sudafed nasal spray… gargle with soluble asprin for sore throat
