Headachey Question

I've got a headache, which means I think up some crazy things. However, I'm not going to share them with you. However, I will ask you a queston that has been bothering me: If I took half dosage of both the night formula headache medicine and the day formula headache, would the two cancel out, leaving me without a headache, and at the same time not putting me to sleep nor keeping me awake?

Question 1: Yes
Question 2: No, Daytime Has No Drowziness Stuff, Not Anti-Drowziness Stuff.

Right, but the nighttime formula has drowsiness, and the daytime has non, I was just wondering if they would cancel out.

scenario 1: 0+1=1
scenario 2: (-1)+(1)=0

you're in scenario 1.

Well, just drank 'em both. Let's see what happens then! So far all I got is a bad medicine-y taste in my mouth.

I'm on board with these guys. You are taking two half-doses of pain killer, which = a regular dose. And you are taking a half dose of the sleep drug.

You are basically taking two tylenol and half a sleeping pill.

I think you're right... I was always under the impression that the daytime formula had anti-sleepy stuff in it cause whenever I took it I would stay awake for hours. Even when I took it before bed!

Note: Still has bad taste in mouth.
