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.

I've already learned that the 'PE' is worthless from wasting money on it.

I don't go through much psuedoephedrine, but it's annoying to wait on a pharmacist to get a box rather than getting it off the shelf.

Wiki links to a story of someone pleading guilty to buying more than 9 grams in a month. He wasn't doing anything meth related; just overusing it.
