Comment:
This product works well I have tried several types of decongestant and was not satisfied with the result. I mostly use maxium strength non drowsy formula, cause I don't want to feel sleepy in the day time.

I am pregnant so Sudafed is what the doctor had on the list of ok to take. I should have known something was up when I got carded and they told me it was used to make meth. I went to bed at 9:30 and got up at 7 to take the kids to school. I haven't slept a wink. I tossed and turned and was amped up all night walking around the house. I WILL NOT take another pill. Now i am sick and exhausted!

I took Sudafed 12 hour for sinusitis. I figured I'd be able to get some sleep. Wrong!! I was up most of the night with no relief from my symptoms. It felt like I had a concrete block sitting on my left cheek and forehead. I finally was able to get some sleep after the medicine wore off which was about 6am. I knew I needed to try something to get rid of this problem quickly because I'm flyi
