Guaifenex and one pill

Went to the doc yesterday and he said I had a problem with my eustachian tube. He prescribed Nasacort and Guaifenex.

Took one pill last night around 6pm (with a 20 oz bottle of water). I could not fall asleep until 3:30 - 3:45 this morning. Tossed a turned a *lot*. Seemed like I'd go thru stages of being too hot, then too cold. Had intense dry mouth at some point in there. Glad I'm not the only one who seemed to hallucinate. =o/

This morning I woke up at 9:30, took another pill. Felt stoned most of the day. It wasn't until 1:30 pm that I managed to get myself into the shower. Good thing I didn't have to be anywhere.

I took one more pill at 6:30 this evening. I really wish I had found this sight beforehand. I'll definitely call my doctor tomorrow to see if I can just stick to the Nasacort. **sigh**

Guaifenex was very bad for me. Unfortunately I did not see this web site prior to taking "the pill". I took one pill and the side effects were so bad I went back to the prescribing doctor 2 hours later. Doctor said in a year he had never heard of anybody having any problems and that it was "just in my head". I couldn't stay in work - had to leave for the day.

My side effects: head/body tingles, extreme depression, anxiousness, extreme lethargic, constant headache, body speeding, light headed, dizzy, stoned feeling (bad trip - not good trip), inability to concentrate.

I feel much worse than this post sounds. Doc said the effects (which he also said were "in my head") would wear off after 12 hours.... I hope so. I feel like complete crap.

I will never take this drug again.

Unable to sleep, headache, loss of appetite, don't know if I'm having hot flashes or feeling is caused by Guaifenex. Called pharmacist after first sleepless night, was told to just take one pill in the morning and discontinue the second pill. Still not sleeping. Am stopping medication after three days.

Horrible abdominal cramping that lasts 24 hours after one pill is taken. Followed by extremely hard feces.
