    I had to go to the emergency room after taking mucinex d. I woke up dizzy and disoriented. I could not get back to sleep feeling very jittery and anxious. Then my heart began to pound relentlessly which was why I went to the hospital. Never ever taking this again.

    This medicine has caused me alot of grief. I highly suggest to read all of the reviews and all of the information on this product before taking it. I failed to do that and I blacked out while driving and wrecked my car. You always hear how good Mucinex is but I can promise you that I will never take it again. I have had a chest x-ray, cat scan and lots of blood work and everything was good. ... Show Full Comment
