Anyone ever tried zicam?

Zicam has always worked wonders for me. The trick is to take at soon as you start getting sick.

there is evidence vitamin C helps,  but its kinda misconstrued. many of the studies that have found it to be effective in preventing colds were done on highly stressed groups like soldiers in training and endurance athletes. so if youre under a lot of physical stress, it might help you out. but for the average joe it doesnt do much to prevent colds.\n\na lot of people swear airborne and zicam.... i dont think there is much evidence airborne works at all. its pretty much an overpriced multivitamin. if you look at the back of an original zicam it says the active ingredient is "Zincus Gloconorium" which sounds fancy, but its really just latin for zinc gluconate (which is the zinc supplement that is in multi vitamins and zinc supplements). some studies say zinc works, some say it doesnt work any better than a sugar pill, so the jury is out. if you want to try zinc id use zinc lozenges like Halls zinc cough drops or Cold Eeze (as directed on the package), theyre a lot cheaper than zicam. plus people are suing zicam because people who use the nostril swabs heavily are claiming to have lost their smell, dont know if there is any truth to that or not.

As soon as I feel a cold coming on, I use Zicam.  It works.  The cold either goes away or if I have waited too long, the cold isn't as bad as it could be.  I have been using Zicam for the past three years and carry it with me during the winter months.  It comes as a nasal spray, lozenges and even on Q-Tips for children.  It's the best thing I know and have experienced to treat a cold.

Zicam works wonders for me.  Helps you get over your cold something like 3X faster.  I usually get bronchitis every year around the same time and when I started to feel it coming on I started using Zicam and never got sick sick.  I also drink quite a bit of cranberry juice every day which helps in the vitimin department.  Take a multi-vitamin every day and wash your hands.  I saw a study recently that said that washing your hands was the top way to avoid getting sick so maybe it'll help you from re-infecting yourself.  \n\nA shot of whiskey with honey works for my husband (well, at least it shuts him up LOL!!)

No, I haven't used it, but I have wanted to try it instead of surgery.  I wish I knew it worked, but I don't.  I think I'm going to order some to see if it works.

"Zicam" and "Cold EEZE"they are Homeopathics at your local drug store or like walgreen's and they do not cause drowsiness and they work to shortness the duration of a cold.

I have used it for 8 weeks and am off smoking completely and so is my wife since 2 weeks.\n\nIn the begging I had serious sleeping problems but was not tired during the day so that was odd.\n\ni found it also cuts cravings like eating chips and computer addition (but maybe thats just me) weird stuff indeed !

IT IS MY WONDER DRUG!!! well its tied with Zofran (an anti-emetic that my Dr gave me while i was pregnant.. phenergan didn't work)  i suffer from MDD.. major depression disorder... i have been on Prozac and Zoloft before... i still felt really down with both of them.. Zoloft made me crazy feeling... then they tried wellbutrin!!  \n\nnot only do i feel great!!  but i have lost alot of weight while on it!!!  I'm on 300mg once a day!!  \n\none down fault... you can not mix it with consuming alcohol... it will cause seizure activity!!!!   also take it of the mornings because if you take it at night it can cause insomnia\n\nsome of the girls i work with took it for smoking cessation...they loved it too.... \n\nI've never heard anyone not like it... the only down fall i think pple would have with it .. is they don't give it a chance... because it takes 4-6 weeks to start being affected.. but about a wk after starting on it.. you feel BETTER!!!\n\nI *HEART* Wellbutrin... i NEVER want to go without it!!!\n\nhope this helps!
