I'm so glad that I logged onto this site - I have all of these side effects. After reading this, I immediately called my doctor for another medication and threw remaining pills away. I thought I was starting to lose my mind !!! Only took one tablet for three days and couldn't sleep starting with the first night. Next two nights I was completely restless with horrible leg cramps that last all day. Had extreme thirst during night, with hot flashes. It's absolutely the worst medication that I have ever taken. I will never take another medication without first checking this website for side effects. Thanks.

I'm taking the GuaifenexPSE, for blocked Eustachian tube. Caffeine makes this act like Super Speed. Thirsty all the time. Have leg cramps. Wake up frequently, hot and sweaty. Avoiding caffeine from noon on, I slept better, still wake every hour though. With am coffee, I'm sure productive! Day #6. Ear's still plugged. Hope this works.

My husband took this for 3 or 4 days. He couldn't sleep, had terrible leg cramps, mild vomiting, mood swings, he felt hot and sweaty, couldn't get enough to drink but didn't want anything to eat. I had also taken this medication last fall, but felt so lousy I quit after 2 days. I can't remember the specifics; I just felt horrible. He decided to quit taking this medication this morning, and he actually feels like a human again tonight. We will *never* take this stuff again.
