~nestling~ Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Yesterday my GP advised I take Sudafed to clear the tubes in my ears that weren't clearing properly after a virus. Although wary, I dutifully took it, as having one blocked ear for a week and a half is no fun. Yesterday afternoon I took 2 doses, spread apart. I felt fine yesterday, and not really tired at bed time. However I took the mirtazapine as usual, but couldn't get off to sleep. Then when I did, I kept waking up. I was itching all over. I woke up really early. Then have been super cranky and angry and hostile all day. I met my parents for lunch, and was badly paranoid in the restaurant when a big party were taking photos of each other. I practically ran all the way home afterwards, and now I'm barricaded in my room as my flatmate has guests for dinner. I get these symptoms usually, but not THIS intense. I have a much clearer ear, but my mind is in chaos. And then I read that anxiety and paranoid psychosis can be side effects of the ingredients in Sudafed. Nice. Will this ease off? What can I do?

~nestling~ Posted July 14, 2011 Author Share Posted July 14, 2011 Thanks. It's taking it's time to ease off, because it keyed into stuff that was already there. Bleh. At least I am getting to work through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SashaSue Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 It should settle down relatively quickly. If you've still got the itchy thing going on, you might want to just get some benadryl, in case it's an allergic reaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
