I got some maximum strength mucinex DM for my cough and yesterday I barely coughed. It also has an expectorant so when I did, it was a productive cough and spat out my phlegm. Unfortunately my sinuses were killing me.... well it was just dried out and congested. I sniffed here and there until the guy across from me was like go blow your nose damnit. Well I can't, it's dried out. So I finally found a tylenol flu in my pocket and ate it so he'd stop complaining about my sinus. It made my nose run a bit so I could clear it up, but not as easily as I had hoped.
Last night I hit up the pharmacy and found Mucinex D which is for your sinuses. It has pseudoephedrine which supposedly is controlled because people can make meth from it. I had to ask for it at the counter, but it's supposedly the hardcore stuff, far more effective than the phenylephrine most drugs are switching too (I read some pharmacy forum where nerds talk about the drugs and pseudoephedrine is supposed to be FAR more effective).
This morning I decided to take instead of 2 pills, just 1 of each. 1 for my cough, 1 for my sinuses. I showered and with all that steam I was able to clear out my congestion real well. Now I'm feeling completely cleared at work. Whenever I feel my nose run, it's easy to blow it out, and coughs are nice and productive.
So I looked into Mucinex a bit and it's basically like a huge dose of stuff to loosen mucus. Probably the FDA max or whatever. Robitussin, Tylenol flu, all that crap doesn't even come close in dosage. I figured if I want to clear this sucker out I might as well get the drug that does the most right? This shit works. But it's like $1 a freaking pill or something.
bottom line: mucinex rocks. get the max strength too!
