Guaifen-C and sleep loss

Don't read all of these posts. I personally have not had much of a problem, let me explain...

I think most of these people exaggerate, and their problems are caused by dehydration. When taking this medication you have to drink excess water, not just the daily amount you should already be drinking. The people with serious problems probably drink lots of coffee or soda with caffeine instead of water. This product basically has ephedrine in it, so it increases your heart rate, and caffeine will compound that problem and the dehydration as caffeine has diuretic effects. A lot of these people probably also took a diet pill and didnt tell their doctor, and that will increase the problems substantially, especially if people are also on a low calorie intake diet. It also constricts blood ways, so if you smoke or you have heavily clogged blood ways already you will most likely have a problem.

You can expect to lose weight though, how about that as a positive side effect.

I would bet that 90% of the problem people on here did not follow the directions with the medication.

I run a lot so that makes me tired after I have already taken the medication twice, so I have not noticed much sleep loss, but you should take this with breakfast and lunch not with dinner.

When I took this with the antibiotic I would occasionally experience abnormal heart beats, but when I stopped taking the antibiotic that stopped, probably because I wasn't supposed to be exposed to a lot of sun, and I live in SO CAL. Read the warnings on all of your medication and tell your doctor about all of the over the counter stuff you take including diet pills.
