Me too! Monthly maintenance allergy shots also. Allergist is suggesting 5 years, so 4 more years! I dread taking allegra before the shot because of the drying and other side effects, mostly in sinuses. Within the last month or so I take brand name 1200mg mucinex morning and evening religiously. It's made a positive difference.

@positivethinking Before starting the abx for your recent respiratory infection, did you have a culture first?

I had a culture done a few days before as part of my intermittent sputum testing for MAC. Before prescribing the antibiotics he based the need for it on the color of the mucus (tan) and the fact that I had low grade temp (99-100.3)

I often wondered about people that take 1200 Mucinex a.m/p.m. I also have a lot of mucus at times. Now I know they say you’re supposed to drink plenty of water with it. I understand throughout the day is not a problem as we are awake, but how do you manage the evening after you go to sleep?
