"This chlorpheniramine is the only thing that works for my cold. I have been using it for years when I need it. If I didn't have this medicine, I would be sick way more often. I don't know why it is getting harder to find. It used to be very inexpensive even with a prescription. Now it's getting up in price. I don't know what I will do if they completely quit making it. The regular OTC stuff doesn't work that well for me and seems to stir the illness up worse and sick for 2 weeks or more. This doesn't. It dries me up, and within a few days, I'm over it."

"This medication has been effective in stopping post-nasal drip and the cough it caused. Issues caused by colds or allergies were addressed by this medication better than any of the newer drugs. It is cost-effective but hard to find in some cases. I frequent small pharmacies and check the house brands at larger ones."

"It was really effective. It took only about 5 minutes before my blocked nose started to clear up."

"This medicine caused my 15-year-old extreme insomnia. She has not slept for 2 nights now. She didn't have sleep issues before she took this medicine for cold and flu."
