Pseudoephedrine Hydrochloride and ibuprofen

I was taking 1-2 tablets of a generic brand of Sudafed for the past year to control sinus headaches. It seemed to be the only product that worked! My outcome was a severe lack of libido. Zilch..nil. I didn't even want to be hugged or touched. At 45 yrs old, my husband thought our marriage was over and began surfing the internet until he found what he wanted. I have not taken even 1 tablet since Oct. and all the libido issues are gone. I just control the headaches now with ibuprofen and rest. The marriage is in repairs now that he knows it wasn't him!

I take no regular medication, but in this last year I have begun furtively taking pseudoephedrine hydrochloride, 30 mg per tablet, plus ibuprofen 200 mg per tablet, two tablets with breakfast, nearly every day. Within an hour my head is clear, I am calm, able to focus on my work or tai chi practice and feel benevolent toward the world. This continues for about five hours. No urinary problems, no hallucinations that I know of, just calm well-being. Doesn't seem right, somehow, but it's hard to give up simply on principle.

Well, I know that there are different effects for different people. But I was taking "non-drowsy" nasal decongesting Sudafed and man, this makes me feel good. It's not like it's addicting, because I only take it when I need to but this makes me feel like I'm floating. Also, its makes me yawn a lot. Here's a tip- NEVER, and I mean never, mix Pseudoephedrine Hydrochloride with Ibuprofen.
