Oh this is good to know Collette. I have a terrible time w/my sinuses, especially this time of year. I'm going to try this out - thanks for the review!

Christine · Coach

My bf's allergies sometimes bother him (congestion) and he swears by this stuff. As long as you're prepared with a huge box of tissues, he agrees that it works great!

Not to hijack the thread...but I've been feeling pretty miserable myself the last couple of days...so I'm in CVS and and I remember Collette's toast. I decide to give Mucinex D a try. I get to the register and they want my name, address and my signature in order to purchase it. I asked why and they said because it has pseudoephedrine in it...which I guess can be used to make meth. I told the clerk to forget it that I would buy it someplace else...then she told me that it is a new federal law that just went into effect in the last day or so...all stores will be required to provide this info...because will only sell a certain amount a day to the same person. Moral of the story...have cold/sinus medication in the house...don't wait until your are sick and cranky because they make you jump through hoops just to buy otc medication. Anway, after this long-winded story...was Mucinex D worth the trouble? It's a little early to tell but I think I do feel better...Thanks Collette.

That has been a law here for over a year now. I have a friend that went through the drivethru to picked up her prescription no showing of ID or hassles at all. Sfter she had left realized she forgot to get some sudafed. They made her go inside to get it and fill out the thing plus show her ID. I really don't mind a few extra precautions if it means getting meth off the street though. And to get back on topic- my friend swears by mucinex too.

Good to know about the Mucinex D. I usually get one summer cold, so I'll keep it in mind.

Not to hijack but regarding the meth stuff - my mom is totally flagged, I'm sure. Once she found out about having to sign to purchase, she went overboard and bought like 90 packs of tylenol cold/flu. I'm not kidding. She gives me a new box practically everytime I go home, just in case. Apparently she thinks it's going to go off the shelves or something...
