Sometimes I get nauseous from all the buildup.

What kind of decongestant do you take? If it has ephedrine or pseudoephedrine in it, it could keep you awake. Those drugs both make me hyper and jittery.

Breathe-rite strips really help me a lot. I have to wear one to bed in order to sleep at night or else I can't breathe.
