for years I have suffered from the feeling of fluid and pressure in my ears and head. I had vertigo and nausea. I went to the dr & the ENT and the allergist none of them could tell me what it was or how to deal with it. I even work in a dr's office and all of their suggestions failed. I have tried many medicines none helped. This stuff cleared my head and relieved all of my symptoms. I wish I woul...
This is my second try with this medication for severe congestion with a cold or sinus infection. Absolutely worthless! I have better results from eating Altoids candy and drinking hot tea than I do from this garbage, Sorry meth heads had to abuse a useful and inexpensive medicine and the government had to take it away, so now no one can access it without a doctor's permission.

This medication caused me to have severe nightmares about my child, that felt very real to me. Overall, I would rather have the sinus problems, than ever take this medication again.

For me, this particular drug works wonders, It doesn't take long to kick in. My only complaint is that I wish it would last longer. I suspect the different levels of effectiveness depend upon the individual's condition and symptoms. I take this occasionally when my allergies are at their worst combined with a stuffy nose, most often at night. Despite it having stimulant reactions, I don't have trouble falling asleep, but that might be due to my hypothyroidism. I'm below the normal level of metabolic activity, so this just brings me closer to normal levels as a bonus.Read More Read Less

The product as stated does what it says it's going to do. It reduced nasal congestion and consequently, redcucted congestion in my chest. The only draw back is it works, as stated, for four hours. I wish it could last for at least 12. Unless I can find something that works longer, I'm sticking with this product.

Helped decrease some episodes of sleep apnea related to nasal congestion. It did consistently cause vivid dreams when taken at bedtime.

I have used Sinutab Headache and Sudafed PE (headache/sinus) for 40 years. It was suggested to me for (shortness of breath), it also relieves sinus pressure, allergy-related headache and fatigue. I get headaches from scents (perfumes, flowers etc) and also certain foods that I eat (apples, oranges, watermelon and many more) I often feel fatigued for no logical reason and if I take one single (one pill, not the suggested 2 pill dose), I feel so much more energetic. It has been a "miracle drug" for me and I am having a hard time finding it. I wish someone would tell me what I can take in its place. Read More Read Less

Phenylephrine has been a disappointment for me; it offers not relief at all for stuffy nose. All the other products oxymetazoline hydrochloride, pseudoephedrine & loratadine etc. work much better; however, it seems I have to cycle through various products and none offer a long-term resolution. Might be time to visit an allergist…

I take when allergies bother me. It relieves throat and ear itching and stops nasal congestion.

I just spent the most restless and sleepless night of my life. I am normally a good sleeper and seldom take drugs of any kind. I am throwing away the rest of the package.

One INT and 5 doctors couldn't help my my severe vertigo. They wouldn't recommend decongestants because it would raise my blood pressure. This drug allows my middle ears to drain and my vertigo gets better everyday. I told the doc and he did a double take on my blood pressure because it was down from 92 to 74. Maybe it lowers the blood pressure and maybe getting well lowered my blood pressure and anxiety. I have been taking about 3 10mg pills a day for 6 weeks, I worry about long term effects.Read More Read Less
