Dextromethorphan / promethazine for Cold Symptoms "This med works for me, but works best when I'm first getting sick. I get the same 'cold' the same time every year, so I recognize the onset. It helps with the duration of my cough, but not so much with nasal congestion. It does make me tired as a side effect. I also suggest Mucinex DM if you don't want the hassle of getting a prescription. Feel better!"

For Cough "This medicine is very, very strong. It did absolutely tone down the cough-I think that it gets rid of the congestion somehow-I don't know how it did/does that; but it definitely does. But it makes you really, really tired. It caused a freaky experience in that I felt very tired in the afternoon and went for a nap that ended up being a 7-hour deep sleep. I woke up and it was dark: 9:30 at night! The day was over! But no problem: I was 'up' for only about 4 hours and then-what can you feel like doing at that time of day/night? Went to sleep for another 6 hours! This stuff is too strong. Too strong! But it does get rid of the chest congestion: no cough...It is gone...But I fear taking it. Something that strong cannot be really good for you..."
