I am so happy that my cough is gone but do not take this if you need to drive or work. I feel completely 'drugged' and really wish I had not taken this in the morning before going to work. I will use this again but only if I know that I will not be driving or going anywhere for the 12 hours that it is in my system.

The time released version works excellent for my cough and congestion but also creates a feeling of flu-like symptoms with dizziness, drowsiness, and weakness that creates a temporary desire to just lay down and sleep. Also effects my heart rhythm to some extent. These effects are off and on as the dextromethorphan is released periodically into my body throughout the time released 12 hour cycle. I feel good then the effects come on then good again. Being concious of the strength of the drugs in each option is a must. Maximum strength means maximum results for your cough, congestion, AND the side effects. My review: Be Careful!Read More Read Less
