Suggest Treatment For Confusion And Insomnia While On Sudafed

Last week I took real Sudafed for a severe cold. Helped a lot but really messed with my sleep in a strange way. It made me dream so much, and so vividly that the first couple of nights I was confused as to weather I had actually been asleep or awake. Only that fact that I felt rested convinced me that I had been sleeping. Never had this before. Unusual??

General & Family Physician 's  Response
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Sudafed is a decongestant and these have a stimulation effect. This means that can be associated with the symptoms and signs that you mentioned.

It is possible, if you have to use it again, that you may have a repeat of these symptoms.

I hope this helps
