I'm afraid I'm headed for the Nyquil highway myself (though, come to think of it, I don't think we even have it here). My ears are ringing and my head is thrumming, and yesterday I took a nap and slept so hard and deep that I drooled all over my pillow.
When I have a bad cold that keeps me at home I always go for the stuff that says "May cause drowsiness" on the bottle. If it's gloopy, viscous, comes in a brown bottle and tastes like earwax then all the better.
