Sudafed making me feel weird?

+1 Just take it minimally, when nothing else works.

Oh Pollyanna that’s t it why it’s behind the counter. They DGAF about you. They just don’t want you making meth with it.

Interesting fact: I tried to buy some in South America. Not only is it unavailable, but it's apparently illegal to have in your possession in whatever country I was in.

It’s basically meth, so yeah!

It is normal. I take it only when absolutely necessary as I know it will be balanced by a lack of sleep.

Stop taking the 12 hour version. Get the smaller pills that only last 4-6 hours. If 2 of those make you feel loopy, take only 1.

I find mucinex and advil work well during the day. Then I use Afrin at night to sleep. Afrin is addicting so only use it for a few nights and then stop.

Taking too much sudafed makes me feel sick, so I use it the least amount possible.

That stuff is the worst try taking something else like zyrtec.

Zyrtec is for allergies, not colds.

Pseudophedrine makes me dissociate. Theres another ingredient in Mucinex that has a similar effect on me— dextro-something. I don’t like how either one makes me feel, at ALL. I’ve pretty much stopped taking cold medicine and moved to neti-pot / nasal rinses, herbal teas with honey, and Advil for any cold-related headache.

It’s normal. If you have high BP you might want to be careful and check with a pharmacist or your doctor
