I'm a mechanic so I can't really take off of work so I went to work today. I felt like crap so I went and got dayquil severe and oh my god, I'm feeling great now. Not sick free but still very pleased with the results and can go back to fixing some cars now. Very great product! It got rid of congestion, head ache, body aches, runny nose, coughing and it gets me up and moving. Thank you Vicks Dayqui...

It makes you feel better physically but emotionally I'm a Wreck I feel depressed and sad for no reason and I just cried for two hours straight after taking it and even though it says non drowsy it will make you want to pass out and cry. Idk of it was even worth it

I use dayquil because I have a cough. The two things hate about dayquil and nightquil is that they taste absolutely terrible. I gag every time I take either and feel bad because it tastes so bad. However it works for clearing up your nose so that was good. It helps really slowly for your cough though.

This decongestant Vic's severe cold n flu does not work at all for stuffy nose. You will feel more congested by taking it. Poor product

My fiance and I took this. I had flu symptoms while my partner only had congestion but was otherwise healthy. Within 30 minutes we both had SEVERE acid reflux. The reflux was worse than the sickness either of us had. Neither of us had ever had reflux that bad or sudden before. It has been a week and I am still sick, not from flu but from this medicine's side effects.

Works well for cold symptoms, but the added menthol makes it taste horrible and gave me a stomach ache every time I took it. The stomach aches were far worse for my wife, who also experienced nausea from this medicine. Will not be buying this particular product again.

This medicine is very effective for me and is my go-to medicine for a cold. Without it, I cannot function. With it, my cold symptoms are minimal.

This stuff does NOT work, period. I had just as much nasal congestion after taking it as I had before, if not more. Total waste of money.

Does not mitigate my cold symptoms, still have runny eyes, nose, and constant sneezing. I'll be moving on to the next over the counter med next time.

A lot of the other reviews surprise me. Dayquil is my go to sickness drug. Not only does it mitigate all of my symptoms, but it gives me energy to go about my day as well. HIGHLY recommend.

DayQuil works to mitigate my cold symptoms (runny nose, body aches, and headache) every time. The only downside is that as soon as 4 hours are up, my symptoms return. It then becomes a question of how long to wait until the next dose, since you should only take 4 doses a day.

It worked, but the capsules were too big for me to swallow with my sore throat.

The Severe version of Dayquil made my whole family sick. I don't know what's in this that did it but within 30 minutes, we all wanted to vomit and had major headaches. I don't recommend this product at all

Doesn't not help get rid of your cold. Robitussin works much better.
