MucinexDM Extended Release report #SELF-2926
Female patient reported the following MucinexDM Extended Release side effect(s):Nausea, dizziness, nervousness, nightmares
I am recovering from a night in the hospital after using MUCINEX DM.I was using it for 4 days. Each time I took it I had dizziness, nausea and lightheadedness, as well as nervousness and nightmares. It was helping my congestion, so my husband insisted that I continue. On the 4th day I took it went to sleep and woke up and felt like my airways were constricted, there was a tightness in my chest, burning in my stomach, and my mouth and throat were completely dry. So I walked to the bathroom to get some water and passed out on the bathroom floor. My husband rushed me to the emergency room. It has been several hours since that happened and my eyes are still hurting, I\'m still dizzy and I am still having visual disturbances, and jitteriness.
