has anyone else taken mucinex??

i took it once and it made me very jittery and sick, and my mom recntly took it and she felt the same way.is it just us or has any one else experienced this?
Answer:
mucinex alone contains only guiafenesen, which is an expectorant. It helps make coughs more effective in mucous removal. It sounds like you might have taken mucinex-D. Which also contains psuedoephedrine, a nasal decongestant. The comment about being jittery can be a side effect of pseudoephedrine for some people. but guiafenesen doesnt usually ever make people feel jittery or sick.
Make sure you drink plenty of water or fluids when you take mucinex. I have found that it works very well, but I take it with about 15 ounces of water per tablet. As the previous post said, there is plain mucinex and mucinex D. The plain mucinex is a blue and white pill. I have had success with the plain mucinex.
