Mucinex Fast Blast - Hard Pass

I had the misfortune of catching a cold last week. I felt miserable and was scouring online for the best meds to take to get me back on my feet...then I remembered I had been sent a free trial for Mucinex Fast Max, from Smiley 360.

I want to say I ran to my kitchen to find it, but I felt like crap, so realistically I slowly dragged my body to the drawer where I most likely stashed the meds and dug through an unnecessarily full drawer until I found the ice blue bottle. Through watery, cold ridden eyes, I read the label for the recommended dose, poured it out and tossed it back like I was taking a shot of Jameson.  My tastebuds were instantly hit with a menthol ambush; it was disgusting, but I choked it down, dragged my ass back to my desk in an attempt to get some work done, and waited for the results. Not only did the Mucinex Fast Blast make me super drowsy, it caused horrible Acid Reflux and did very little to help with my cold. Honestly, I felt worse than before because I was using so much of my very little energy to stay awake. I even dragged myself back to the kitchen to make sure the bottle didn't read, "sleepy formula" or "nighttime relief". Nope.

Bottom line, I'm so happy I didn't spend my money on this crap.
