Pseudoephedrine for Nasal Congestion "It doesn't last 24 hours. You'll get maybe 8 hours if you're lucky. I wouldn't recommend this at all. Stick with the 4-6 hour dosage of the little red pills or you'll unnecessarily suffer."

"The only thing that has ever touched my fatigue from POTS and CFS is this medication. It's like 4-6 hours of relief, but I have to watch the blood pressure-boosting effects if they get a bit strong."
