It helped for the cough but the dreams I had were very vivid ! The first night I talked in my sleep and went in and out of consciousness. That didn't bother me too much . What bothered me was the next night when I had constant nightmares and sleep paralysis. It was very scary because I was aware yet I could not wake up . I wouldn't advise against taking it necessarily, however I would suggest to see if there was an alternative drug available for the ailment the person has . | F | 18 | 10 days 100 mg | 5/24/2015 | 1 | Cough | Did not help at all. | Absolutely hate this medicine and doctors are constantly trying to prescribe it to me.

But being desperate, I took one. About 30 minutes later I realized that my breathing was labored and my eyes were burning. The Dr.'s solution was Benadryl, which knocks me flat out on my butt.
