The label says not to take for more than 3 nights. I did this and therefore missed last night. Will I die if I take it tonight?

TIA

My old housemate would go out clubbing and take vast quantities of speed and MDMA, then when he got home and wanted to go to sleep would neck an entire bottle of night nurse, usually with a few brandy’s

He is now dead

I don’t think it was the night nurse though

The year is 2063! Vladimirs son is now president of England, with the support of Chancellor ress-mogg the 13th.
You've been asleep for a while it seems.

I didn’t take any last night as I’d done three nights straight.

It's my understanding that it's due to the decongestant in it, which can cause rebound headaches from medication overuse.

A bottle of Night Nurse gives me about 7 doses. A cold usually lasts 7 days. I have never restricted myself to 3 nights.

its a number of factors including addiction potential IIRC as well as rebound stuffiness and cumulative side effects from the antihistamines

You won't die but the advice is there for a reason

When I worked 7 nights on the trot in the prison service I had it 7 mornings on the bounce, & I didn’t even have cold.

Thanks TJ. Kind of hoping that three days on it, one day off and then back on would be ok, as it provides a break from possible addiction.

Just couldn’t get to sleep after an 11 hour shift. & if I did I was awake by noon.
Without Night Nurse I was Zombie by Thursday.
Well, not a Zombie but you know what I mean.

Night Nurse has paracetamol in it, so necking a bottle would be massively inadvisable!

Simone: ...Sometimes they fall for what they think I am.
George: And what do they think you are?
Simone: What you think. A black whore.
George: Did I say that?
Simone: What do you think, then?
George: Well, you ain't no night nurse.
Simone: No, I ain't no night nurse.
George: Well, let's say you're a lady.

Well it's only a recommendation!

I'd happily drink it for days on end.

Similar to binners my acid casualty mate would stave off the fear on a Sunday with a couple of vodka and night nurse martinis. Highly recommended.

Gees linctus is the proper stuff if you really want to be found on the post office steps in a pool of piss
