Can they knock you on your <donkey synonym> as far as weakness and fatigue also? It seems that my infection is cleared up enough that I should perk up, but I feel like a wet noodle.

It was so bad that even though I could see myself getting better daily, I had to psych myself up to actually take the medication.
That does sound scary. I suspect in my case the dextromethorphan in the cough syrup wasn't helping things any either.
