This is normal. The drug causes dizziness and sleepiness as side effects. However, this generally gets better as you get to take it for longer periods/days. Stick to treatment and all will be fine.

Thanks
Brief Answer:
Add mucomyst!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
THis sounds like a postnasal drip. I will suggest that you add a mucolytic such as mucomyst. This will loosen secretions and allow for easier evacuation to lessen continuous drainage at the back of the throat which also causes coughing. A CT scab of the sinus would be helpful if this persists.
I wish you well and keep me posted about this.
