For Cough "I took Delsym when I had the flu a few months ago, and it gave me the runs and made me feel funny. When I told my mom, who’s a nurse, she chalked it up to the flu leaving my body. I took Delsym again today to get rid of a very slight cough, and it gave me the same runs and serious dizziness. I was even dizzy in bed. When I had to rush to use the bathroom, the room seemed to spin. I’ve NEVER had this reaction to OTC cough medicine. Delsym is the first and hopefully last."

For Cough "I've been coughing for about a week after sore throat and cold without taking any medicine. Yesterday, I just had enough of it and got Delsym, took it, and I almost passed out in classes because I felt so dizzy, like I could not function. It might have suppressed the cough a little bit? I'm not sure, since I was still coughing, but according to my friends, I coughed less. But it felt really bad, and I would not take it again."

For Cough "I took this medicine around midnight last night after being tired of trying to hold back a cough, and it worked pretty quickly. I also had hot water with lemon and honey, so that probably helped too. However, around 5:00 am, I woke up with severe cramping and diarrhea. I spent two hours running back and forth to the bathroom. I also experienced nausea and dizziness. But hey, it got rid of my cough... not worth it."

For Cough "I had taken it, and within 30 minutes, my stomach started to hurt. Now, an hour later, I’m having muscle spasms, tingling in my fingers and arms, and feeling really dizzy. Don’t take this medicine."

For Cough "I've used this product before with no problems. However, I took a dose at 6 AM this morning because of a nagging cough and have been extremely sick ever since. Horrible diarrhea, dizziness, and nausea. Sitting in bed with a trash can next to me, wishing that I would just throw up so I'd feel better. I hope this doesn't last 12 hours. I'm getting too old to waste a day in bed."

For Cough "Took Delsym 12 hours after spending a whole day coughing. I am at the end of what appears to be a chest infection. Spent Friday all day coughing, so I purchased Delsym and took it Friday night. Also ate chicken that night. I stopped coughing Friday evening, I guess from the Delsym. Woke at 2:20 am, so nauseous that I assumed I had food poisoning. Stood over the toilet to throw up and instead, it was all just gas. Drank a carbonated water and fell back asleep. Didn't equate this with the cough medicine, still thought it was a mild case of food poisoning. Took it again Saturday morning and was miserable all day! TERRIBLE SATURDAY. I was so dizzy, nauseous, and super gassy again. That's when I realized it was the Delsym. It was a horrible Saturday, and it did take a full 12+ hours to go away. DON'T TAKE THIS STUFF!"

For Cough "It does stop the coughing, but the severe cramping, diarrhea, and dizziness are not worth it! I was 2 days in before I realized that those symptoms weren't part of my flu. It was the Delsym! Beware!"

For Cough "Terrible gastrointestinal side effects, dizziness, nausea, and overall spaciness. Not worth it. I will never use this again."

For Cough "Well. On one hand, my throat felt less scratchy, so I coughed less, on the other hand, I felt drunk as anything. Super dizzy and hot."

For Cough "I used this medicine for a persistent dry cough. It took away my cough and worked well. However, I had extreme vertigo for over eight hours. It almost ruined my Thanksgiving dinner! Do not recommend."
