And it's a stimulant. Nothing worse than feeling miserable from a cold and unable to sleep because of pseudoephedrine.

Try a lower dose, I can usually get by with half the recommended dose. Worst case scenario, add Benadryl to the mix to knock you out. Being able to breathe is worth it!

This. I hate the stuff. Can't sleep and get a killer case of restless legs.

I am prone to respiratory complaints, it's my weakness. However, I'd rather have that misery than pseudoephedrine.
