I'm conflicted. The OTC phenylephrine hydrochloride pills from CVS always seemed to help me with my post-nasal drip, however, the advertised purpose of decongestion was never a use-case for me. Allergies are a huge problem for many people and I'm not surprised that these pills are ineffective for many. Still, I'll be disappointed to see these go, because they do what I need them to.

- jstarfish 3y agoGuaifenisin fucks me up big time-- it always leaves me with bouts of existential depression and borderline psychosis a day or two later. YMMV-- age is definitely a factor. When I was younger (20s) I was able to handle it without issue.
