After taking the generic for Ambien 5mg to help me sleep, I woke up with my phlegm choking me, At first I could not cough it out or swallow it down. I immediately got up and it eventually subsided. I would like to take a Mucinex DM to help. with cough and congestion.

I don't see why you couldn't take the Mucinex. Maybe you were a little dehydrated as well? I took Nyquil when I first started tapering down from 10mg to 5mg. Seemed to work fine.
