Guaifen-C and loss of appetite

I hve been taking Guaifen since Friday. By Sunday, I have experienced severe nausea, sleeplessness, headaches, hot flashes, dizziness, stomach pain, complete loss of appetite, shaking and increased heartbeat. If the side effects of the cure are worse than the sinus infection, why put this on the market?!

THIS DRUG IS HORRIBLE!!! This drug caused me to have terrible mood swings and emotional instability like I have NEVER experienced before. It also caused loss of appetite. This drug has the potential to cause major emotional side effects.

My doctor did not inform me this is a psuedo-ephedrine drug. Which means you should NOT consume caffienated products while on the medication. It could increase the side-effect of dizzyness. The psuedo-ephedrine is also the reason you could feel like "your on speed" or the loss of appetite. Ephedrine isn't for everyone. If you experience those feelings it's best to take a half dose or to stop taking it all. Ephedrine/ephedra are used in many diet pills- most of which are being pulled from the shelves.

When used correctly; modifed to fit an individual, Guaifen can work beautifully.

The guaifen is an expectorant, so of course it will make you cough!! That's what an expectorant does!! It loosens the phlegm so you can cough it up and out (unless you just WANT to swallow it). Also a bronchodilator which helps breathing.

The loss of appetite, not being able to sleep is caused by the PSE part of this Rx--PSE being pseudoephedrine which acts like speed for a lot of people.

Makes my nose a little dry but drains my sinuses and opens up my lungs, which is why I'm taking it!!

Taking this for blockage in the ear. Taking 2x per day for 3 days now, and it's not helping at all.

Experiencing EXTREME loss of appetite, and sleep deprevation. Only positive about it is the high feeling, and quite frankly, I'm tired of feeling like I'm at a rave all the time. I never thought I'd say that.

Been taking this for 3 days now. Side effects to me are similar to taking ephedrine .... makes you a little hyper for a few hours and ur heart beat faster, but also the loss of appetite. Other then that no problems. I take one in the morning be4 I go to work(around 5:30am) and one after I get home(2:30-3pm). I sleep fine(go to bed around 10-11pm). Seems to be working ... drains me out good ... only thing that sucks is my nose is super dry from blowing it all the time lol. My doc paired it with Nasacort AQ that I spray twice in each nostril right after i take the Guaifen pills and so far it's worked great, only 1 nosebleed that just happened today at work but thats because I blew a little to hard heh.

I was prescribed Guaifen PSE ER Tabs for my ears and also an antibiotic for my sore throat. I have noticed a mild loss of appetite. I also flew to Montana for a wedding and my ears wouldnt unpop after we landed, they are still acting a little funny after 4 days. I was instructed NOT to take before bed, but twice daily earlier in the day because if does cause problems when trying to fall asleep.

after a long plane flight , hearing in my left ear was severly impaired. the doctor said i had "trama" to my eustacian tube. he prescribed 7 days of an antibiotic & 30 days of "guafin" . it has been 20 days & there has been gradual improvement. i have noticed a loss of appetite & weight loss, i am sleeping less,and it does leave a "vile" aftertaste & dry mouth . but it does work.
