I have not taken cold medicines in a decade or more I think. They just make me “groggy and disconnected” like the old Sudafed ads used to say. True of Sudafed too. The daytime versions just add caffeine which adds an edge.

Does anyone have a go-to pharmaceutical cold remedy that actually works for them? And better than just stuff like broth or lemon tea?

Considering taking a Claritin now to see if things have improved.

Breath easy tea works for me. While it has ephedra in it like sudafed, it doesn’t hit as hard but still helps.
