For Cough "I realize everyone is different, but I'd like to share what happened to me after taking two small sips of Delsym. I had a cough that was driving me crazy, so my wife goes out and buys this. I had never taken it, and my wife assured me that it was good stuff. I ended up taking two small sips from the bottle-definitely less than the recommended dose-and just like everyone else, I got diarrhea. While on the toilet, I started feeling nauseous and felt like I was going to puke. Next thing I know, my head was on the floor upside down, I passed out and had no idea what happened. I picked myself back up (I'm still on the toilet, by the way) and started sweating profusely. I turned to puke in the tub and passed out again, banging my head so hard my wife heard it downstairs. I picked myself up again, and in about 2-3 minutes, I started feeling okay. Just a warning, folks, from a guy that's healthy, doesn't do drugs, and isn't on any sort of medications at all."

For Cough "Made me have the worst panic attack of my life. Then I got bad stomach pain and nonstop vomited all night long, and diarrhea. I'm still nauseous the next day. I would rather be coughing. I'll never take this 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 "Delsym Cough (orange flavored) has really worked on my cough. I did have a pretty good headache, but I took ibuprofen for that. I have not experienced any stomach problems other than nausea when I woke up this morning, and I threw up. I was able to go to work today."

For Cough "I recently came down with COVID, and this was suggested for the cough. About an hour and a half after taking, I went to bed. I proceeded to have terrorizing rapid random images fire off in my head all night long, and I’ve never done drugs, but I’m sure that’s what an acid trip feels like. I had to contend with these nonsensical weird images all night, as well as with severe nausea and diarrhea. Also, a terrible feeling of being overheated. It’s more than 14 hours later, and I still have remnants of the weirdness in my head, as well as gut issues. This medicine is very toxic! Do not take!!"

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 "IBS? DO NOT TAKE should be the warning on this label. 6 hours after you take it. Cramps... diarrhea... nausea. Not worth it!"
