Had flu-like symptoms for 8 days. On a follow-up appointment to my doc she suggested an OTC expectorant to help get the last bits of crud out of my chest. Took first pill at 6pm on Tuesday. Came into work on Wednesday and took my next pill at 6am. I was walking back my office from a meeting when I felt what I thought was gas.

It quickly turned into an overwhelming pressure that I could barely hold in. Hint: it wasnâ??t gas. Thank goodness there was a bathroom nearby or I would have had an embarrassing moment.

I have had a hacking cough from a cold. To loosen the mucus and reduce my cough, I decided to try Mucinex DM for the first time. I always read the warnings on my pill bottles. No side effects were mentioned. I rarely take pills, unless I really need them. When I took the Mucinex DM, I made sure not to take any of my other cold meds- Tylenol, not even Flonase. The bottom line is within 4 hours ... Show Full Comment

I have had a hacking cough from a cold. To loosen the mucus and reduce my cough, I decided to try Mucinex DM for the first time. I always read the warnings on my pill bottles. No side effects were mentioned. I rarely take pills, unless I really need them. When I took the Mucinex DM, I made sure not to take any of my other cold meds- Tylenol, not even Flonase. The bottom line is within 4 hours of taking one big pill with lots of water I felt severely nauseous and threw-up. Not long after that I was hit stomach pains and a minor burning diarrhea. I threw up again. A dry throw up. About 6 hours after taking the pill I felt like the room was swaying, like I had been drugged. I did not like that feeling at all. Did my cough temporarily stop? Yes. None of these potential side effects are listed on the box and should be. I have never in my life felt so unnerved by the side effects of a cold medication. I will never take this medication again.

I had a sinus, ear, and upper respiratory infection and on an antibiotic. I was still not getting relief. I took one dose of mucinex and I felt so much better. Took my cough away.

Had a tight cough from bronchitis. Since I did not have a fever, I spoke with the pharmacist and she recommended this.

Since I had not eaten anything unusual , I called the pharmacist and she said to stop taking the Mucinex. The diarrhea stopped after 24 hr of no Mucinex DM. I had been drinking plenty of water with each tablet. I would never take this again.
