The PPA vs. pseudoephedrine thing puzzles me.
A small amount of pseudoephedrine keeps me awake all night and makes my heart race. A full Rx level dose and I don’t sleep for days. (And I’m not alone.) I wonder how many people it’s killed.
PPA works great and has no side effects for me. It also isn’t an ingredient in meth.
Guess which one is still on the market?
Pseudoephedrine gives me the restless leg feeling in my lower spine as well as in my knees. I hate that stuff. I will only take it during the day for congestion if I have to, never a sleep aid - counterproductive.
You need a prescription in Oregon, I understand.
In California you have to swipe your driver license; if you have a three year old license that won’t swipe, I don’t know how or if you can get it at all. Strangely enough, they don’t do that for actual (meth)amphetamines that require a triplicate prescription. If they ever start requiring a driver license swipe for prescriptions, then the DMV is going to be crowded with replacement card requests.
Hey–without these registration regulations, how would they have ever nailed Sally Harpold? :smack:
I buy the cold and allergy medicines with the big D because they put me to sleep when I’m feeling like crap from the sinus annoyances.
Meanwhile Capital N, small y, big fucking Q, uil? Keeps me awake all night bouncing off the ceiling…
Wow. Well, I’m glad they got that monster off the streets! :rolleyes:
Seriously, these new regulations resulted in the following ridiculous situation:
My sister and her SO both suffer severe allergy symptoms; for these symptoms, they rely on large doses of Nyquil. Therefore, my sister was very pleased when she went into a Wal Mart (hereby proving no one should be pleased upon entering a Wal Mart) when the regulations were just, well, ‘baby regulations’, and finding Nyquil that was packaged two bottles to a box. On top of that, they were marked “Buy One, Get One Free”. But when she tried to check out, she was informed the purchase would not go through because, according to new regulations, the limit would be three bottles of Nyquil. :smack::smack:
Well, PPA was taken off the market because it was (supposedly) giving people strokes. I believe the science is still unclear about how dangerous PPA really is. But at least it explains why pseudoephedrine is still on the market for humans and PPA is not.
I think I may be developing a tolerance to Pseudoephedrine. Either that, or my ongoing sinus issues have reached truly apocalyptic levels.
well At least you can still get it, even if it is behind the counter. The took my Terpin Hydrate,the only cough medicine that worked, totally off the market. :mad:
I know this, but clearly pseudoephedrine is far more dangerous. The “logic” involved is just plain not there.
Do you mean pseudoephedrine is more dangerous in meth form? If so, I agree. But otherwise, I think the FDA disagrees with you.
I am also well aware that the FDA disagrees with me. Just because they’re the government doesn’t mean they are logical. In fact …
