I loved this medicine - but, now I can't find it anywhere. It has not been produced in a while. Any substitutes out there?

I took deconamine or the generic for nearly 16 years. I have severe allergies and was miserable year round. Finally, at age 16, the doctor put me on this. It was great. For the first time in my life I could breath, sleep and function normally. About a year ago, it was discontinued (at least in my area) and the doctor, put me on alegra. It is not nearly as good as the deconamine was.

My congestion drug of choice. I have used for several years and only need to take once in the morning for any day I need the relief from nasal congestion. I tried taking at night and didnt sleep well, so I would warn against PM dosing.

Ive given this medication to soldiers for the past couple of years and have always found it very effective in combating cold symptoms as well as congestion. I tend to also give it in conjunction with wither Tylenol or Motrin for headaches and fever that accompany sinusitus. I have never had a complaint

This drug is amazing, I woke up refreshed without sneezing and itchy throat, nose, and eyes. The only drawback is that it gave me dizzying dreams(?), otherwise, amazing!

I suffer from seasonal allergies (itching and watering eyes and nose, heachache and congestion) and have taken this drug for many years. I've tried others when this was unavailable but nothing else seemed to work as quickly or effectively. I found it also helps ward off a cold.

This did not work for me and I experienced side effects. I was restless and hardly got any sleep when I took it in the evening and the next day I became dizzy and fainted. I have since added this to my DO NOT PRESCRIBE list with my Doctor. It is definitely not for everyone.
