User Reviews for Guaifenesin

Mucinex (guaifenesin) for Fibromyalgia: I never thought that an expectorant used to treat coughs could be this effective for Fibromyalgia pain. I am a pre-med student and when I heard about the possibility of Mucinex(Guaifenesin) being able to relieve pain caused by Fibromyalgia I decided to try it. It has worked better than NSAID'S (Ibuprofen, Aleve, Celebrex) for me. 400mg works great (600mg if using the extended release tablets.)

Mucinex (guaifenesin) for Fibromyalgia: I thought this was crazy, but when you are in pain all the time and can't afford to go to the doctor, you will try anything...It really works

Mucinex (guaifenesin) for Fibromyalgia: I started this when I was working with a patient on Mucinex therapy. It worked, but I thought it was a fluke, and I stopped taking it. Months later, stiff and unable to get around and work without severe pain in my lower back and neck, stiffness in my hips and knees, and general achiness all over, I decided to give it another shot. I have Crohn's disease which causes fibromyalgia symptoms. Since the Crohn's didn't seem to be negatively affected by the Mucinex, I started on it again last week. No pain in my lower back, still just a bit stiff in my neck. I am so happy that back pain is gone. I can do things again and not hurt. I don't have to be on narcotics and I sleep like a baby. I recommend at least trying it.

Mucinex (guaifenesin) for Bronchitis: Loosened the deep chested tightness and made it much easier to cough mucus up and out.

Mucinex (guaifenesin) for Fibromyalgia: I heard about this treatment from a nurse at the local CVS Pharamacy. I went online and looked up the research done. I've been on it for around 3 months now and it works. I ran out at one point and didn't think much of it and my pain came back. I suggest you try it, it really does help. I use it along with Pure Malic Acid and the two things together gave me my life back.

Mucinex (guaifenesin) for Fibromyalgia: I have recently been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Soon after I had a cold and started taking Mucinex to clear out my sinuses. Not only did my sinuses feel good but I noticed that in general I felt amazing. My body just didn't hurt like it had been hurting for the past few months. So I got online and typed in Mucinex... low and behold the first thing that popped up was using mucinex as a treatment for fibromyalgia ... crazy. I had no idea... so for those of you speculating that it may be a placebo effect ..believe me I felt the difference without knowing that others have used it as a therapy.... it works wonders!

Mucinex (guaifenesin): Mucinex is a great product and works. I have a problem swallowing the pill. Why can't I break it or crush it? Why not a liquid form or smaller pills for adults? Not user friendly for peple like me.

Mucinex (guaifenesin) for Fibromyalgia: Wonderful results after only a week. Not nearly as stiff, does not make me tired, and effects last 10-12 hours. A blessing it can be bought over the counter.

guaifenesin for Fibromyalgia: I'll call it "guf" for short. Guf works but you have to understand your body. For a cough it helps by enabling free-er breathing, loosens, disolves flem. "Guf" used for treating fibromyalgia has done wonderfully for me, but you MUST ADHERE to a strict diet for AT LEAST ten days while dosing, I felt good results in a few days and it gave me the inccentive to keep doing it for 14 days, I felt so good, the diet is described in a small green book called "what your doctor didn't tell you about fibro.

Mucinex (guaifenesin) for Bronchitis: First time Mucinex DM user. I like the extended relief because it really does provide extended relief from the severe coughing that is characteristic of bronchial infections. The medication did make me a little drowsy, so some caution is recommended especially if you are not able to take time off to rest. I also recommend drinking lots of fluid too. You may notice that your urine smells like the medication.

guaifenesin for Bronchitis: This medication keeps my lungs open and I don't wheeze.

Mucinex (guaifenesin) for Bronchitis: This is the only medicine that helps loosens nasal mucus without the side effects like sleepiness or jitters that most of the sinus medications give me. It's great!

Mucinex (guaifenesin) for Fibromyalgia: I bought some Mucinex 3 weeks ago for a very bad cough that would not go away. Within a few days my fibromyalgia seemed to be getting better. Places that always had pretty much the same amount of pain seemed less painful and even the more painful ones where hurting less. The pain has continued to decrease and I am starting to feel more energetic. This is the best I have felt in years. It was only after doing research on-line that I found the Mucinex/fibro connection. I only learned that I had fibro last fall and the prescription drugs have too many bad side effects for me to take them though I was afraid I would be forced to someday. The Mucinex has had no side effects and I am feeling better everyday.

Mucinex (guaifenesin) for Cough: This helped with a nasty cold when other OTC mixtures (with less guaifenesin) did not work. The 600mg tab has almost no side effects, though once in a while can make me feel woozy. Made a huge difference in loosening phlegm, helping me sleep, reduced coughing so my vocal chords are not as irritated. Also, my nasal passages cleared up significantly the first day I took it. It's important NOT to split the tab, it is hard to swallow, but it's formulated as sustained-release. It can't do it's job over 12 hours unless it is taken whole. Also, drinking lots of fluids (not coffee, tea) does help. Miracle drug (Mucinex)!

Guaifenesin LA (guaifenesin): This is the first relief in 17 years for my chronic cough with Gulf War onset, and it is also very effective in reducing the excess mucous in my sinuses, lungs, and bowels. I've been able to stop using the nasal steroid inhalers that I've been using for more than a decade (most recently, Nasonex)! It also seems to be helping to relieve the chronic widespread pain (fibromyalgia) and reduce the paresthesias in my legs, feet, and back. Best of all, I can detect NO side effects!

Mucinex (guaifenesin) for Bronchitis: This drug is a lifesaver for my wife, but take it at the very first sign of trouble, and drink lots of water with it.

guaifenesin for Cough: I had Asthma diagnosis for 3 years. I was taking drugs like Flonase, Advair and Antihistamines almost continuously. After I found guaifenesin 3 years ago it got rid off all asthma symptoms. I am not taking any asthma medications any more, only guaifenesin.

Mucinex (guaifenesin) for Bronchitis: I've tried this twice, once for allergy related coughing and bronchitis. For some reason, for me, this medicine always makes me cough more than I need to. It does thin the phlegm and helps make my coughs productive, but when I need to sleep this isn't the medicine I can take at night. I use Robitussin DM for nighttime use.

Mucinex (guaifenesin) for Fibromyalgia: I can't take any form of Mucinex, or it's generics, without becoming totally lethargic. I turn into a complete zombie. I'm happy for those of you who find relief with it, but for me, it's a total fail.

Mucinex (guaifenesin) for Fibromyalgia: Wow! I am shocked to find out that Mucinex is giving people relief from Fibromalga. How wonderful is that! I think the drug manufacturers should let this information be spread more then it is. I see this as a wonderful bit of information.

guaifenesin for Cough: I was taking prescription medicines for allergy symptoms and could not get a refill due to health insurance. My mom suggested Mucinex DM which contains 1200mg Guaifenesin- what a huge help. More so than the prescription medicines I had been taking for over two years.

Mucinex (guaifenesin) for Fibromyalgia: I had severe tendinitis after 5 rounds of high dose chemo, probably as a side-effect of the antibiotic Levaquin. I had my RA factor checked to be sure rheumatoid arthritis hadn't kicked in with the chemo and it was normal. But I was in serious pain. Then I got a cold last week and picked up some Mucinex for the cough. Amazingly the tendinitis has settled way down. I only took Mucinex for 3 days and now, a week later, I am still enjoying the benefit. I am not 100% pain free, but probably 90%.

guaifenesin for Bronchitis: I have asthma and believe that most of my conditions are allergy related, however, when I started taking this medication my breathing ability was dramatically increased as much as if I had taken my rescue asthma inhaler. If I miss taking a dose after the 4 hour time as prescribed on the bottle I can tell immediately. If you have asthma you might want to try this product.

Mucinex (guaifenesin) for Fibromyalgia: Mucinex made my pain disappear if I took it along with a painkiller but not only that, it made everything better. All of my fibromyalgia symptoms were gone, but that may have been because I was taking Ginseng for energy and ginkgo for fibrofog. I still love Mucinex, it saved my life.
