    My NP told me to avoid this stuff and just hand over my Photo ID at the back to get the real pseudoephedrine.

      Yup, the good stuff is always that 20mg-30mg psedoephedraline they give you the third degree over buying. Worth it.

        I keep both the 4 hour and the 12 hour time-released versions at home. There’s no substitute. I’ll gladly spend a few extra minutes at the pharmacy counter to obtain it.

          not a huge fan of the 12 hour ones, but take them myself at times. Still, it just seems, at least to me that the 4 hour doses just work better.

      Maybe I’m a lightweight, but pseudoephedrine makes me feel weird. I can’t put my finger on it, but maybe a bit jittery and kind of cold. Also hyper - like I’ll want to do chores when I take it

      Works better than anything else for my colds, but it also makes me feel odd so I avoid it unless I’m feeling super trash.

        It’s basically watered down meth. It’s no joke! That said, it doesn’t make me feel bad at all but everyone’s different and it is a powerful drug.
