Thanks for sharing this info. May I ask how long you've been taking it daily?
I'm in a desperate situation, as I've been struggling with excessive sleepiness for months (13-15 hours a day). And now I have a major undertaking that I have to be involved in until the end of June, and if I can't have some alertness I'm up the creek without a paddle. I have some problems using caffeine, and I just thought of trying Sudafed. This is my second or third day, and it does help. My breathing is better to boot!
> I'm kinda glad to hear someone else mention Sudafed. It's been my dirty little secret for years. I initally used it for the sinus stuff. I felt better taking it. It brighten my mood and gave me energy. I have used it almost daily for a while. Small amounts: 15 - 45 mg per day. I have to watch it due to more than that increasing anxiety. I have no real s/e: Heart rate, B/P, etc seem to do fine. Works good for me. I'm probably "hooked", but I felt it couldn't be any worse than the RX items used for "alertness". Lots cheaper, too.
