    I've been saying this stuff is useless since they changed the formulation. Pseudoephedrine works really well, but I get terrible shakes from it and can't sleep, so I rarely take it. If I'm that stuffy, I add a dollop of Vick's Vap-O-Rub to a bowl of boiling water, shut my eyes, put a towel over my head that drapes around the bowl, and breathe deeply for 10 minutes. It clears everything for a good, long while.

      I remember when they changed the formula too and tried the new phenylephrine a couple times and it literally did nothing. Went back to OTC pseudophedrine and it worked like normal. Never looked back

    A drug that isn’t safe nor effective?

    I am in the middle of a nasty cold. My cold meds are doing a decent job of keeping my nose from running like a tap.

      Do you smoke or snort them?

      Decongestants and antihistamines are two different types of medications. Antihistamine (like Benadryl) help with runny nose, watery, and itchy eyes, etc. Decongestants help with a stuffy nose, and sinus pressure. If your main symptom is a runny nose, then you may not need a multi cold medicine. I think it is better to purchase the medication’s separately and use each one according to my need.

    I take the stuff behind the counter with a prescription. Sudafed. It dries my sinuses up. But when they switched to that stuff years ago it never worked for me and actually made my heart race. Sudafed doesn't make my heart race or keep me awake.

    I never take those quick fix, I only use "Vicks" or "Buckley's" for anything cold or flu congestion & ASA for chill's.

    Don't you think it's kind of strange you're trying to stop this before the viruses come in?

    I always chose diphenhydramine (an antihistamine) over decongestants. Not sure why.

    This is so misleading. Pseudoephedrine still works it still has the same ingredients it’s just behind the counter now

      It makes millions in profits. We live in capitalist based society. There’s a sucker born every minute. Buyer beware.

    I buy that for a stuffy nose and I think to myself "this isn't working."

    Carefully pouring warm lightly salted water up into your nostrils then let it drain back out cleanses ans soothes sinuses
