I had a terrible reaction once. Wound up in the hospital with a hypomanic episode. I was also taking cold medication (Alka Seltzer Plus, the old kind) so who knows what it was. Scared to death to take any cough syrup now! Bottom line is, be careful. Read labels and stick closely to prescribed dosages.
