I have that same problem. I don't really know why but I can tell you what I do so that I don't fall asleep. If I take 2 pills, like the box recommends, I zonk out. So I tried cutting the dose in half. That seems to work fine for me. I think it all depends on how bad your cold is to be honest. I have tried a holistic approach to this problem as well. If you can find liquid echinachea and put 2-3 drops of it into an 8 oz. glass of orange juice, you may feel better.
It worked for me when I tried it. And there's no medicine head feeling with echinachea. Good luck to you. I hope this helps you out.

I don't know, but a lot of "non-drowsy" meds still make me sleepy.

I was told that any allergy medicine makes you drowsy. Most of it says it won't but it does.
