Funny to read this today as I wake up with a "hangover" from taking Sudafed PE last night. I do have a box of "the good stuff" but it isn't rated for night-time use. I think I'll dump the remainder of the bottle out.
- kbutler 8y agoPseudoephedrine does have a stimulant effect. I find that if I've got bad congestion, the stimulant disturbs sleep less than the congestion would, but I'll still reach for something like afrin (Oxymetazoline) at night in spite of its "bounce back" effect.
- orev 8y agoDiphenhydramine (Benadryl) usually counteracts the stimulant effect of pseudoephedrine, and is one of the main ingredients in NyQuil (along with a cough suppressant). That combination is what made NyQuil so formidable before the pseudo-pocalypse, but you can recreate the effect just by taking both. However nasal sprays like Afrin are just as effective and don’t have nearly the stimulant effect, especially when used with NyQuil
