Guaifen-C and dreams

I wouldn't wish these side effects on anybody. My doctor prescribed this medicine to me on a Monday, I took my first pill after dinner that evening, when I went to bed I had such terrible pain in my ears and face. I barely slept that night nothing would ease the pain. I didn't really have much ear problems before I took the pill only pressure around my eyes, however after taking the pill it intensifed the pressure in my face and brought out severe ear pain. I refused to take any more of this medicine, however this 1 pill I took remained in my system because the following night I had the worst, most horrifing dreams of my life, I couldn't even repeat these dreams to anyone. This medicine is terrible it did me no good, the only thing I got out of it was more intense pain and pressure and dreams that are to horrible to even talk about.

Well the wierd dreams are definitely apparent, and the heart palpatations happen 4 or 5 times a day when I'm on it but it's no big deal (I dont think ) I sleep fine except for the dreams, but I think I sleep fine due to not having the post nasal drip there, so overall I am satisfied with the drug. Sometimes I feel restless but it soon goes away but that is about it.

I was prescribed Guaifen for nasal congestion along with Leviquin for pneumonia. I was told Guaifen might keep me up at night, so I started with just 1 tablet/day instead of 2 and took it twice a day on the weekend. Glad I did as the 1 did keep me awake as well as seem to make my mind race and gave me more dreams/nightmares than usual. On the medication, I wasn't tired but a person needs 6-8 hours of sleep every night, NOT 2 hours. Next time, I will read the side effects before I get my script filled, and call the dr or pharmacist if need be to discuss it further.
