| Allegra-D has sudafed. I just take plain allegra. Sudafed will screw up your sleeping big time. Think of sudafed as being real weak speed, or real intense caffeine. It isnt either, but the effects are similar. I almost never take sudafed. I keep some around in the generic form if I really need it. Sudafed is the trade name for pseudephedrine. |
| Thanks for your input! Allegra-D contains pseudoephedrine (decongestant), it makes some people jittery. i cant take it, id be bouncing off the walls. perhaps you can ask your doctor or pharmacist for a decongestant that doesnt contain pseudoephedrine. but, as far as eliminating fluid in the middle ear, i seem to recall that a decongestant is recommended. |
