    Maybe I’m a lightweight, but pseudoephedrine makes me feel weird. I can’t put my finger on it, but maybe a bit jittery and kind of cold. Also hyper - like I’ll want to do chores when I take it

    Works better than anything else for my colds, but it also makes me feel odd so I avoid it unless I’m feeling super trash.

      It’s basically watered down meth. It’s no joke! That said, it doesn’t make me feel bad at all but everyone’s different and it is a powerful drug.
