Mucinex (guaifenesin): 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.

Mucinex (guaifenesin): 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): 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): 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.

guaifenesin: 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.)

guaifenesin: 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.
