Guaifenex and last time

I took Guaifenex for the first time yesterday, and I might add for the last time yesterday. My blood pressure rose quickly, the Systolic rose 40 points and the Diastolic rose 30 points and my resting pulse rate raised over 40 bbm. When at the doctor in the same morning, both blood pressure and pulse were normal. I have never before had this type of reaction to any medication. My night sleep of 2am - 4am will not help me get better, no matter how "wonderful" of a decongestant this stuff is. It took two doses for this reaction to hit me. I am sure that this may not be the normal reaction - but if you get it watch out, because it is very scary.

I've been taking two tablets of Guaifenex PSE 600 twice a day for 3 days and today is the last time I do. I have the flu and so I should be getting plenty of rest, but as tired as I may be, I haven't gotten more than 4 hours of sleep a night since I started this. Normally I can sleep 10 hours at a time with no problem, but I haven't gotten to sleep before 5 am since I started this medication, I wake up 5 or 6 times through the night and can't sleep past 9, latest.

I have never had a reaction to medication before, this is absolutely ridiculous. It's clearing up my congestion but not letting me get the rest I need to get better, so I've just ended up sicker than when I went to the doctor. I'm not pleased at all.

This is the last time I will take this medication combined with P-seudeprine. My doctor prescribed this combined dosasge of medicine to get ride of ear inflammation/congestion but it did not work. Instead it gave me a tinnitus (ringing in the ear) anxiety attack nervousness, panic, elevated blood pressure and insomia. This is the first time I ever had this feelings. DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICINE unless you have to.

Whether you take Guaifenex or Sudafed 12 Hour, you're taking the exact same chemical: Pseudoephedrine. This is the chemical which makes these medications work. Go look at a Sudafed 12 Hour package and see for yourself.

And I'm sorry, but nobody's been hallucinating or vomiting blood from taking Sudafed tablets.

Pseudoephedrine is okay for most people, just not for you people. When was the last time we all had our lives destroyed by Sudafed? Get real: thousands of people take Sudafed and never have problems. Pseudoephedrine is not a problem for me.
