Does mucinex (guaifenesin) cause drowsiness?

No: It more frequently causes stimulation--it is not an antihistamine.

Yes, esp w/ Zoloft!: Combining these medications can increase the risk of a rare but serious condition called the serotonin syndrome - definitely check with your doctor! it can be a bad interaction - take it seriously. Good luck - i hope it's nothing and you feel better soon, but do check it out.
