| 1 | Phlegm in throat | Took it 6 hrs. before bedtime. I had chest palpitations, sweats, and could not sleep all night long. Worst night of my life. | F | 43 | 1 days 1 pill 1X day | 12/17/2012 | 3 | EXCESS MUCUS, UNPRODUCTUVE COUGH | A HEAVY TIGHTNESS IN THE CHEST | DID NOT LIKE THE TIGHTNESS FEELING CONTRIBUTED TO ADDITIONAL ANXIETY SO WOULD NOT TAKE AGAIN ALSO, WAS NOT THAT EFFICIENT | F | 31 | 1 days 400 MG? 1X day | 6/17/2011 | 1 | 12 yr old (box clearly states intended for children 12 yrs and older). had heavy mucus and needed fast expectorant. Shortly after, child broke out in full body rash, hives and swollen lip! Needed to be treated with steroids. | M | 12 | 1 days 1200 MG 1X day | 2/22/2011 | 5 | chest congestion | no side effects | i usually take 2 600 mg of regular mucinex before going to bed and usually after i wake up. it helps out a great deal. i also sneak in a children's mini-melts cough also. mucinex works so well! | F | 19 | 4 days 600 mg 2X day | 1/19/2011 | 5 | flu/pneumonia | No side effects | This stuff works well... Coughing is key to getting the infection out of your system and this stuff really helped me have a more productive cough. | F | 29 | 3 weeks 1 1X day | 1/5/2011 | 1 | Cold and Congestion | Broke out in hives from mucinex at this high dose. I can take Robitussin DM at the lower dose, but not the 12 hour Mucinex. Stopped immediately. | The dose in Mucinex 12 hour is quite a bit higher than Robitussin and such. So beware. | F | 38 | 2 days 12Hour 2X day | 12/20/2010 | 5 | asthma congestion | None that I know of. | I take the generic form but it is Guaifenisen the same as the brand name. Took the liquid for years, but it tastes bad, so the blue pills are better. Helps to thin my cottony mucus that comes with asthma. Seems very safe and very helpful | M | 53 | 3 years 400 mg 4X day | 12/7/2010 | 4 | Chronic sinus and ear problems | No serious noticeable side effects. It has a bad taste that can linger but I've not had any other side effects. | Mucinex has been great helping to keep my sinuses from acting up. My dr recommended it because I was so backed up my ears got clogged (this has happened numerous times). This product helps keep me fairly clear and keeps the pressure headaches to a minimum. My dr has told me to keep using it. | F | 31 | 4 months 1200mg 2X day | 10/9/2010 | 5 | chest congestion/allergies | No side effects. | I also take the children's mucinex mini-melts. That's plenty for me. Cleared my chest up. | F | 23 | 2 days 200 MG 2X day | 8/31/2010 | 1 | stuffy nose | broke out in itchy, irritating rash and bumps had to be put on steroids to counter act the side effects. only took mucinex for 2 days, on steroids for 2 weeks! | F | 36 | 3 days 1X day | 3/31/2010 | 5 | Congestion | Dry mouth and dull taste the next morning. | I took the children's fizz packets...tasty as well as effective. The packaging is correct...it'll really clean you out! Was up half the night coughing up mucous. | M | 38 | 1 times | 1/11/2010 | 4 | Sinus problems | The D version makes me jittery and dizzy, so I take the regular one, which has no side effects. | Works good. | F | 19 | | 11/28/2009 |
