User Reviews for Mucinex

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.

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.

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)!

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.

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.

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%.

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.

Mucinex (guaifenesin) for Fibromyalgia: My neurologist has tried me on several medicines, but I work in the OR that the Cymbalta and Lexapro do make the pain manageable but I think all the side effects are with me. Mentally I felt like I was floating. I have done the amitriptyline, Neurontin, Buspar, Ultram, Flexeril. But when I read Mucinex I thought you are kidding me. The next morning I went and got some Maximum Strength 12 hr relief and also tried the liquid but I prefer the tablets. Try it I promise it works. Sounds crazy but it does.

Mucinex (guaifenesin): You'll almost always notice a medicinal smell in your urine when you use the nasal (orange) form of Mucinex. The drug it contains is processed through the kidneys and it doesn't all get metabolized, especially the extended release tablets. It tends to make me a bit woozy as well, but at least I can breathe!

Mucinex (guaifenesin) for Bronchitis: Made coughing a lot easier after feeling like I was going to die from the phlegm that was blocking my air passage. I didn't give it a full 10 because it gave me a slight headache and a bit numb/tingling feeling all over my body but nothing to be alarmed about. Oh my goodness what a difference. I can breathe and finally sleep knowing I'm not going to choke to death. Thank you Mucinex.

Mucinex (guaifenesin) for Cough: This medicine made me sick. I took one 12 hour slow release tablet with a large glass of water and it's a week later and I still feel nauseated.

Mucinex (guaifenesin): Me and my father are both sick and have been both taking Mucinex. It works well but we both have been experiencing very vivid and some what disturbing dreams.

Mucinex (guaifenesin) for Bronchitis: It works great, yet makes urine incredibly stinky.

Mucinex (guaifenesin) for Fibromyalgia: I found tremendous relief during the past six months with Mucinex for fibromyalgia, however I was wondering if any other person thought that the Mucinex also caused sensitivity to sugar. I also noticed that when I took the 1200mg of 12 hour timed release Mucinex I felt energetic, however my joints were extremely painful. My shoulders and left knee were on fire, and my left leg was swollen. I reduced the dosage to 600mg timed release. Now I feel okay, able to function without the extreme pain and swelling, the sensitivity to sugar is still there though. Also, I am premenopausal and was wondering if anyone thought that taking Mucinex made the symptoms worse. Overall Mucinex works for me.
