I had a somewhat similar experience with the old (original formulation) of 
Actifed -- I could take a pill and within seconds, my nose would start to run 
like crazy and "free breathing restored".

The new formulation of Actifed doesn't work nearly as well (in fact, not too 
long ago, some organization of doctors went "on record" saying the one of the 
new ingredients had no effect at all.

Anyway, the old formulation is still available in some areas of the world by 
prescription.

Quotes below from Wikipedia:

   * the original formula (the effective one) is "pseudoephedrine hydrochloride 
60 mg as the nasal decongestant and triprolidine hydrochloride 2.5 mg as the 
antihistamine"

   * the newer formula (not effective, and specifically, I think it is the 
phenylephrine HCl that has been determined to have no effect: "Pfizer changed 
Actifed's formula in late 2006 to contain chlorpheniramine maleate 4 mg as the 
antihistamine and phenylephrine HCl 10 mg as the nasal decongestant"

The one danger of the original formula is (and many similar drugs) is that it 
can cause an enlarged prostate -- I won't tell you who has a (benign, so far) 
enlarged prostate.

Glad you found out something and seem to be making some progress!

A picture is worth a thousand words.  A video (or "audio"): not so much -- 
divide by 10 for each minute of video (or audio) or create a transcript and 
edit it to 10% of the original.

A speaker who uses ahhs, ums, or such may have a real physical or mental 
disability, or may be showing disrespect for his listeners by not properly 
preparing in advance and thinking before speaking. (That speaker might have 
been "trained" to do this by being interrupted often if he pauses.)  (Remember 
Cicero who did not have enough time to write a short missive.)

A radio (or TV) station which broadcasts speakers with high pitched voices (or 
very low pitched / gravelly voices) (which older people might not be able to 
hear properly) disrespects its listeners.   Likewise if it broadcasts 
extraneous or disturbing sounds (like gunfire or crying), or broadcasts 
speakers using their native language (with or without an overdubbed 
translation).

A person who writes a sig this long probably has issues and disrespects (and 
offends) a large number of readers. ;-)
