I have used this medication for many years for both my children and myself. It tastes better than a lot of other cough medicines. It's pretty much the only one I can stand! You feel a little groggy, but that's pretty standard for cough medicines, and it stops your cough so it's worth it.

I have been using Dimetapp for years and it always works (I have vasomotor rhinitis). This last bottle I bought does absolutely nothing. I think they have cut the product ingredients or something because it did nothing at all to help my symptoms.

I used this medication this week for both myself (4tsp/4hrs) and my twin two year olds (1.5tsp/4hrs as per dr) for cough and congestion. I noticed increased unhappiness in my children after the first dose. After three days in my system, I had thoughts of suicide. I can't say it was due entirely to the medication, but my children's reaction seems to mirror my own. Please, be careful using this medicine.
