Cold Medicine Hallucinations?

I have the same thing with cold and flu tablets and also sinus hayfever medication.  Its most probably the psuedoephedrine (not sure exactly how to spell that).

The 3 steps behind thing is the perfect description.  thats exactly what happens to me.  The strangest thing for me is that supposed non drowsy medication sends me right to sleep even day medication.

I'm going to see how long I can go today without taking another sudafed.  I only take half the dosage because I'm so sensitive.

Yeah, I keep some of those little yellow allergy pills in my night stand (chloro-tabs, or whatever they're called) -- the 4 hours pills are a perfect "sleep aid".  My mother used to threaten us with Benadryl when we were kids.  And in Germany, I hear, you can buy "knock out drops" for your kids.  Ever see that Sat Live Skit about Vallium for Kids?

Yeah, in my pre-sleep ramblings last night I asked my BF where all the water went.  I must have drank 3+ liters of water and iced tea, plus several bowls of soup, plus cereal, but yet I only peed three times all day yesterday.

I so wish I could sleep through this. Sudafed is a component of 'speed' which is why you can only buy it one box at a time from the drug store.  Why anyone would want to mix it with Drain-O I'll never know.  One table and my jaw is all clinched, my neck muscles are all tight, and I can't sleep to save my life.  I just lay in bed and talk to the cat.  But if I don't take the Sudafed, then I can't breathe at all through my nose, and that forces me to breathe through my mouth which makes my sore throat worse.  Grrr...

I suppose I'll 'crash' soon enough.
