My adult daughter has Rett Syndrome and cannot talk. After we gave her the multi symptom pamprin, she started staring blankly and drooling and became very pale. Then in the night she feel head first out of her bed, which she never has done and turned blue. This drug effected her in a dangerous way. It it was not good to give to her before she went to sleep as well.

Comment:
While it did improve my mood, it does make me significantly drowsy, and I consistently have had violent nightmares with the medication. It had been a couple years since trying it, so I decided to try - and again with the nightmares. They say it's an uncommon side affect, but apparently there is something in it that my body doesn't like.
