PE = CRAP
I thought this phenylephrine stuff was junk. Turns out I'm right.
The government banned phenylpropanolamine, which worked fantastic for me. Then they severely restricted the sale of psuedoephedrine and ephedrine (it has to be kept behind the counter, you have to present ID and then fill out a form to buy no more than 3.6 grams per day, or more than 9 grams per month, any more is a misdemeanor). The pharmaceutical companies have been pushing phenylephrine on everyone, even though it's no more effective than a placebo.
