Do you have a hard time sleeping? I went to bed at 10:30 because I could hardley keep my eyes open. I dozed off for awhile but now I can't sleep. I don't know why I get like that when I'm sick.
I get that way with sinus infections. Sometimes I think it's the medication. I take Allegra D for my allergies but I also take cold medicines that contain pseudoephedrine.Originally Posted by luvmycat1

I didn't know there were any that still contained that? It's too bad really, in a pinch - if I didn't have my other meds or they weren't working enough the ephedrine and pseudoephedrine can help act as a vasoconstrictor and get blood pressure up a little.Originally Posted by Essayons89

They are still sold OTC but you have to get them from the pharmacist instead of grabbing them right off of the shelf. At least that's the way it is here in Ohio, it may vary from state to state. This is due to it being used in making meth.Originally Posted by strange_wings

I know. It may be because Oklahoma is notorious as one of the states that there are a lot of people making meth (I've even smelled suspicious houses and trailers in the little town I used to live it), so they've really cracked down on it here. I haven't seen any behind the counters at the pharmacy I use, though for some reason they put the larger boxes of Prilosec OTC back there.Originally Posted by Essayons89
