I think I'm the one person who likes the new new Sudafed better. The old kind made my heart gallop, but this kind works without the heart rate over 100 bpm and accompanying jitters.

Pretends to be Effective
Hah! As so many products do.

Nope. But we may be the only two. My reaction to pseudoephedrine is extreme enough (heart galloping, shakes, dry mouth, freaky-outy thoughts... your basic panic attack in a pill) that I used to despair of finding any cold medicine, because that shit was in everything whether it advertised itself as a decongestant or not.
(On the other hand, not much risk of becoming a meth freak...)
I just can't imagine there being much demand for them except for the intended purpose.
People are weird. I'd have thought that too about the med I take for my thyroid, but it turns out some folks take it to lose weight.
A lot of my meds do have happy!fun purposes, so I basically feel guilty requesting them or filling the prescriptions.
Wow. I've almost downed the whole quart of Smart Water and it's just turned three.
I had a slight ebay spasm and bought four sets of cufflinks. That doesn't make me a bad person, right?
So what OTC is good for sinus headaches? I was taking Pretends to be Effective and Advil and hoping they would make magic.
Migraine meds?
I'm a big fan of the Claritin-D 24 hr.* + Advil cocktail.

bon bon, that combo would work for me, but I seem to be one of the few who find PtbE effective.

I just get the back-alley Sudafed 12-hour and take it with 3 or 4 ibuprofen. Works like a charm for 95% of my sinus headaches. (The other 5% turn into a migraine.)

It's got the pseudoephedrine; hence, the ID/back alley dealie. But, man -- the pseudoephedrine is GOOD SHIT. For congestion.
