      After pretty mild T for a week or two I took a decongestant for sinus pressure and my has gone nuts.

      Has anyone had this? And how long did it last.

      This is the loudest my T has been since the first week I started.

      Hi. My T reacts badly to decongestants too but normally settles down after a few hours. I avoid Sudafed like the plague. I have some paracetamol that also contain a mild decongestant. Am okay with those. Hope you are feeling better.

      I take Pseudoephedrine on a regular basis for my Sinus issues that started with my T.

      Doesn't do anything for me.

      What did you take exactly? Some have painkillers in them as well.

      I took a claritin allergy/decongestant with pseudo. The spike only lasted a day it was unbearable. I'll stick to regular claritin and steam relief
