    I have tried Allegra, Flonase, Zyrtec, even the nighty night Benedryl. My cousin introduced me to this inexpensive remedy last year as I was helping him move. NO other drug had ever worried out my congestion without the groggy side effects like this does! Pair with a Neilmed for super fast relief!

    As easy to use as any other pill, but phenylephrine is completely ineffective at a 10mg dose. Placebo effect may do the trick for some people.

    I suffer from debilitating seasonal allergies. To round out my once a day Allegra, I added Suphedrine PE and it has made all the difference. I can take this every four hours and it's especially helpful when my Allegra wears out at the end of the day. I wish I discovered this years ago!

    Increased post nasal drip to a post nasal torrent. Side effects: persistent headache (continues 16 hrs after ingestion of tablet that is only supposed to last 4 hrs), sleeplessness, anxiety. Took 1 tablet in evening - as I previously used pseudoephedrine, which is effective for me. Wish I had read Wikipedia entry on drug before taking. Ineffectiveness is a known problem.
