For Cold Symptoms "Having a nasty cold with a runny nose, sneezing, headache, and sore throat; I figured I'd give this a shot. Within 30 minutes of taking 1 pill, I was feeling relieved of much of my cold symptoms; however, something just didn't feel right! I started getting extremely nervous, with a very high anxiety level. I seriously was freaking out! My heart was pounding like crazy at a fast pace, and I was all over the place. I felt as though I couldn't calm down, and it all seemed to come on suddenly. One minute I was fine, and the next I was losing myself. The side effects seemed to taper off after about 4 hours (it felt like forever), and by this time I should be in bed sleeping? I don't think that's gonna happen soon?"

For Cold Symptoms "The best cold/flu medicine I have used. It definitely helps me get a better night's rest. And during the day, it makes me feel a lot better, where I almost forget that I am sick. I just take it when I am really sick and need some help getting through the day. I use this about 3 to 5 times a year. No side effects!"

For Cold Symptoms "It’s been the best, fast-acting cold medication. My family always bought it in Mexico. (Originated from Mexico) But if it’s from Mexico, the ingredients are more potent. Higher mg. But the US brand works great. It’s best to take after a light meal, cuts down on the instant “rush feeling.” For nighttime, I have taken 2 pills (30 minutes or 1 hour apart) knocked me out to get the much-needed rest from flu/cold. Always be cautious of medication; everyone reacts differently."
