[QUOTE="emotionallybankrupt, post: 346955, member: 8226"] Yep, my internist even compared sudafed to "speed." Definitely activating for most people. Also a blood pressure hazard for most people. That's when I ran into the opposition from ALL my doctors about taking any antihistamine-D. I'd been on first Claritin-D, then Zyrtec-D, and then Allegra-D for many years until the blood pressure issue upset the balance. The compromise made was for me to do the "make my own" combo I described in the earlier post and use the decongestant sparingly and monitor my blood pressure. That's why I'm so sure it's sudafed that is the active "D" ingredient in all those drugs. Over the years, my body has gotten so used to the sudafed that it doesn't budge my blood pressure, but the doctors still don't like for me to use it. So, YES. Definitely that one is activating for most people, but I don't know about the newer substitute asked about in the original post. [/QUOTE]
