I think I'm the one person who likes the new new Sudafed better.
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.
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.
I need a vintage tea gown, right? [link] For all those garden parties I attend?

Last year, I had a series of god-awful sinus headaches. I tried everything but it didn't even take the edge off. I was working at the time and 12-14 hours a day with non-stop, blinding pain was killing me. Finally, I broke down and begged our writers assistant to find me something. I was like, "Whatever they have BEHIND THE COUNTER."
I may have even grabbed his shirt when I said that. It's still fuzzy. I was a desperate woman.
