I took it because my ears are so clogged from a cold (or whatever I have) - but it made me feel so woozy, kind of like I'm just floating around. Anyone else ever experience this?
ETA, i guess it could just be the underlying issue causing the feeling too.

Re: Sudafed
I get a weird feeling from it too.
Almost like I'm high- it's hard to describe.
I don't like it.
I still take it if I really need it, but it also makes my heart race and feel anxious at times- that is a normal side effect of it.

Thanks. Yes, exactly. I'm not a fan, though it does seem to help with the clogged up feeling.

Just about all medicines that have a decongestant do that to me! I know it's that because I can take a Zyrtec or Claritin no problem but if I take a Zyrtec D I feel as you described.

It's the pseudoephedrine that they contain - it's what makes you feel less stuffy but it's technically almost an "upper" . Hence the ephedrine part... It makes your heart race a bit. That's why you have to sign for it behind the pharmacy now- they use it to freebase speed type drugs....due to that ingredient.

This
A friend who's a nurse told me anything with D in it will do that Bc of that ingredient. But to try Tylenol sinus because it's a similar active ingredient but not exactly that. So maybe try that ? It'll help decongest you and hopefully without that side effect
