You're not the only one with pseudephedrine problems. My doctor's residents are always telling me to handle the sinusitis thing with antihistamines and decongestants, but the problem is, I can't really handle any of them. Pseudephedrine makes me shaky and nervous and paranoid, unable to sleep, and gives me a noticeably irregular heartbeat. It's kind of scary. Most of the straight antihistamines just make me sleepy and clumsy. You'd think that the two would cancel each other out, but they don't... I just wind up sleepy and insomniac, walking around crashing into things because I can't see straight nor stay in the same place for any length of time, and unable to read, listen to music, or carry on an intelligible conversation because my short-term memory is zapped. (I found that out the hard way once when I took a Sudafed.) In short, restless, bored, artificially stupid, and utterly miserable.
Frankly, in this case, the symptoms are easier to cope with than the alleged cure.
Glenn, how soon do you need that Reactine? I'm quite broke at the moment, but I'll have money within 2 weeks, I figure.
