Sudafed PE Severe Cold (acetaminophen / diphenhydramine / phenylephrine) "Be careful using this medication, and do not use it longer than 3 days without talking to your doctor. I took this medicine once a day for months at a time to help with sinus and allergies, and I just found out I have tachycardia as a result (the electric impulses in my heart are messed up and now it beats dangerously fast). I am at risk for a stroke or a heart attack and will likely have to take medicine the rest of my life to lower my heart rate. Don't let this happen to you!"

Theraflu Nighttime Severe Cold & Cough (acetaminophen / diphenhydramine / phenylephrine) "My daughter, age 25 has bipolar and takes multiple med. to control mood swings. Last evening she took Thera-flu & within an hour experienced major manic episode to the point of harming herself and screaming. As soon as she stopped taking Theraflu, she stabilized.. Few in the medical field seem to be aware of how dangerous OTC can be taken when you are taking lamictal, depakote, abilify are her current meds for bipolar."

Sudafed PE Severe Cold (acetaminophen / diphenhydramine / phenylephrine) "My family finds this medicine to be great for fighting off colds when you feel as though you were coming down with one. A couple of days, taken as directed, most times always get rid of the cold. I would recommend medicine but, having read one of the other reviews - check with your doctor. Even when (the rare times) we do not stop the cold in time, Sudafed PE Severe Cold makes you feel better during the course of the cold."

Theraflu Nighttime Severe Cold & Cough (acetaminophen / diphenhydramine / phenylephrine) "Theraflu is my go-to for colds, sinus, when I had COVID. It relaxes body aches, helps you sleep. Tastes great for a medicine. Having it as a tea helps warm you up fast."
