I think it is best to not use it continually or it is less effective-- | F | 49 | 4 days 120 mg 1X day | 5/11/2014 | 2 | cold | After a few consecutive days of take Sudafed Extra Strength I began to feel really anxious. It got so bad that there were periods of time where I felt detached from my normal self and was just an observer. After having a particularly strong period of derealization I decided to stop taking Sudafed to see if that was the cause. Sure enough, within two days I felt normal again, although I still have congested sinus. | Cleared Sinus', but stopped using it because of the side effects. | M | 18 | 10 days 10 1X day | 4/27/2014 | 1 | Cold | Took walgreens generic brand at 8pm. By 10pm when I wanted to go to bed, I was no longer able to sleep at all and I just felt weird like I knew something was wrong! My scalp was tingling and my heart was racing very fast. Also, my chest hurt! Finally fell asleep around 4am and was back up at 6 with a pounding headache and exhausted. Will never take this again. | F | 27 | 1 days | 4/9/2014 | 1 | congestion with allergy | erectile dysfunction - it cleared my congestion just fine but could not get an erection until it wore off | I do not have this problem with the regular sudafed | M | 57 | 1 days 120 1X day | 3/30/2014 | 1 | common cold with allergies | It gaves me the worst headaches ever.

Sudafed 12 hr worked great for my congestion in the day time but the sleeplessness was awful. For today my second day, I cut a pill in two, I do feel some relief but not like the first full dose I took. I rather live with a little pain than no sleep, it's just a cold after all. | F | 44 | 2 days 120 1X day | 6/19/2013 | 1 | congestion | Anxiety, heart racing, no sleep, nearly a heart attack | F | 22 | 2 days 2 D | 2/20/2013 | 1 | Sinus trouble | Anxiety, heart racing, sleepless nights. Still feel anxious 3 days after my last dose. | F | 42 | 4 days 3X day | 1/2/2013 | 4 | ear and sinus congestion | dry mouth, hot flashes, insomnia | I was getting vertigo and headaches from sinus pressure, so this has helped. The side effects are irritating, especially the hot flashes. | F | 36 | 2 days 30 mg 1X day | 2/3/2012 | 4 | Sinus pain and ear congestion | Can't sleep more then 4 hours straight and its been 3 days since I last took my last pill. | M | 32 | 1 days | 1/22/2012 | 3 | Congested ears | Severe nausea, headache, body ache, chills, hot sweats, insomnia lasting more than 10 hours after 2nd and final dose | It cleared up my sinuses/ears, but not worth the bodily discomfort of the side effects. The "cure" was WAY worse than the problem. I will never use anything with pseudoephedrine in it again. | F | 37 | 1 days 12 hr 2X day | 1/7/2012 | 4 | Sinus congestion | Appetite decrease, more energy, impossible to sleep if you take it in evening (toss and turn all night, vivid dreams) | F | 25 | 4 days | 1/6/2012 | 1 | Chronic sinus problems | Vertigo, anxiety, nearly had a heart attack | I'd taken Sudafed or a similar version of it with the pseudephredine in it for years. My dr. told me it was safe to take as often as needed. In 2005, I was put under anesthesia for a hysterectomy and my heart rate went up to 200 beats a minute. I had to be taken out from under the anesthesia. We could only guess it was my long-term decongestant use. I was tested and had a messed up "hyper adrogernic" (sp?) issue, my "flight or fright" responses were way out of line so was put on lexapro, or I was offered a beta blocker to cope with severe dizziness. I am now coming off the lexapro. Ephredine screwed up my sympathetic nervous system. Being off if for 5 years now, I hope my system has returned to normal or almost near normal. | F | 45 | 5 years 2X day | 7/31/2011 | 1 | Nasal Congestion | I could not sleep for 20 hours two days in a row. I have bipolar disorder and later found that it can cause mania (which is marked by insomnia). This should DEFINITELY be required on a warning label. | M | 24 | 2 days 30 mg 1X day | 1/1/2011 | 3 | Ear congestion | I cannot take Sudafed at night because it makes me wiggy and sleepless. Yesterday, I took 12-hour Sudafed at about 8 a.m. and last night I still couldn't sleep! Apparently, my body still hadn't metabolized the whole pill! I am miserable from lack of sleep. I don't know if it helped my symptoms, but I will only take 4-hour Sudafed in the future to avoid this problem! | F | 42 | 1 days 1X day | 12/30/2010 | 3 | Nasal congestion | Slight pain in chest (heart?). Trouble falling asleep if taken near bedtime. nervosuness or anxiety. | I now only take it when absolutely needed. I can tell the drug is harmful to the heart. | M | 42 | 2 years 30 MG 1X day | 12/14/2010 |
