Dexbrompheniramine / pseudoephedrine for Allergic Rhinitis "I've tried everything for my allergies since they get so bad from where I live. A friend of mine gave me Drixoral to try, and it did magic. Not one sign of allergies the next day! It does make me drowsy, so I take it at night and wake up with no symptoms. Sometimes, even during the day, I'll still be drowsy, so I tried to cut the pill in half so it wouldn't be too strong for me, but that was impossible."

For Nasal Congestion "One more longtime user who's in a panic now that Drixoral isn't even available in Canada. Allergy shots haven't worked; only Drixoral helps me breathe. Without a nightly pill, I can barely wake up in the morning because I'm so congested. Please bring it back or let someone else license it cheaply, even if it's Rx only. By the way, the reviewer below who said it was addictive and damaged her nasal passages appears to have been using Drixoral nasal spray - a totally different formula."

"I have also used Drixoral for years, and it is the only product that has given me any relief from sinus and allergy symptoms. I could not believe it when it was taken off the market either. Not because it was ineffective or dangerous, but because speed freaks were stealing it to make meth. I have ordered Drixoral from Canada at a much higher price, but I'll be happy if I can find it anywhere. I get some comfort in knowing that I am not alone in my desire that Drixoral be brought back on the market."

Dexbrompheniramine / pseudoephedrine for Nasal Congestion "I was addicted to Afrin big time back in the '60s and '70s, used Privine and Neosynephrine to get off the Afrin within a few days. But the first time, it was Drixoral that got me off the Afrin, it worked immediately and fast. In 6 days, I had forgotten all about Afrin and Drixoral. Here is the story: Drixoral is a combo of dexbrompheniramine antihistamine and pseudoephedrine decongestant. Pseudoephedrine was replaced by phenylephrine, which simply does not work because pseudoephedrine can be used to make speed. But it is still available at all drug stores if you ask and sign for it. Dexbrompheniramine was removed from the market for reasons of safety. It's not coming back, but most of the newer 2nd generation antihistamines should work fine."

Dexbrompheniramine / pseudoephedrine for Nasal Congestion "ABSOLUTE WORST DRUG!!! Never use this drug, it is extremely addictive! I was addicted to it for two years, having to use it every 2-3 hours! I was misdiagnosed with allergies because of this drug! This drug tricked my immune system into thinking I had allergies! It also damaged the inside of my nose and nasal cavity! This is not a drug that should ever be sold over the counter! I don't even think it should be sold at all, and if it does, it should only be available by my doctor's prescription! This is an awful drug! I am off the drug for 6 weeks thanks to the help of an absolutely fantastic allergist! I haven't been tested twice for allergies, and both tests have come back negative, proving that this drug is the reason for causing the problems!"
