One of the most difficult things to learn about while taking Guaifenesin has been cycling. It is a difficult concept to grasp in the beginning, to be sure. On the one hand, you come to Guaifenesin for your Fibromyalgia symptoms because nothing else has worked. On the other hand, you aren't ready for the cure to be worse than the disorder. And, for a short period of time it certanly feels that way.
First, Let's define cycling.
You take a specified dose of guaifenesin (which you arrived at through titration) twice a day. When you "cycle" you are forcing the phosphates out of the muscle tissue that have built up over time. The build-up of phosphates has caused pressure on the muscle tissue themselves as well as pressure on the nerves from water build-up. Also a by-product of the phosphates.
