User Reviews for Norel SR oral

I become incredibly drowsy/sleepy after taking just one norel sr (substianed release). I had just slept 9 hrs. and then I took one norel tab yesterday morning after being awake only 3 hrs. I then slept ALL day long and straight through the following night for a total of being asleep 28.5 hrs. out of 32.5 hrs. This is the 3rd time norel has done this to me. I won't take it again. I was not taking any other meds. Typically I can never sleep more than 9 hrs. and never nap. A lot of meds make me super hyper or drowsy. The bottle says to take one pill twice a day for congestion and I had only taken one. My doc had said to try taking half or a quarter of the norel to prevent this extreme drowsiness/ sleepiness. I did this earlier this wk.but out of desperation and frustration with my allergies, I eventually took a whole pill. But even a whole pill hasn't helped my symptoms. If it did, I was too zonked to know it or care. I had no other side effects.Read More Read Less

it works much better than anything else i've used.

just on the third day and symptoms are already clearing up. My biggest problem was drainage and it has cleared up nicely.

Head cold and strep throat. Felt better the next day (after only 3 doses)!

i have really bad allergies and this med worked wonders on the swelling in my nasal passages..being able to breathe through my nose is such a wonderful feeling ...since i hate breathing through my mouth...

wow what a great medicine. right away i felt the relief. i decided one day not to take it and boy did i feel not so great. it is a great medicine!!

The cost of medication is outrageous. I have strep and some sinus drainage. I could purchase tylenol and a cold pill for under $50.00 and still have money left.

It has helped some with my sinus pressure. I am bothered by dry mouth, though. I haven't had any trouble sleeping while taking this med.

immediate relief from debilitating sinus pressure

I've been on the medication for sinus infection got 3 days. So far I have seen no results at all. Will be calling the dr. who prescribed it for an alternate medication

sleepiness, dry mouth

I was also having a lot of trouble with sinus congestion and drainage and this worked VERY well!

I took this medication b/c I had been sneezing and blowing my nose for about 2 wks. b/c of allergies. This medicine worked quickly. I highly recommend it.

i have had horrible sinus problems since i was a little girl, i took a two week dose of this medicine, & it work better than any other prescription i had ever taken, within just a few days. But, i did have some dizziness and blurred vision and twice i have trouble seeing, i could only see straight ahead, in my perifrial vision it was just bright light, and it was so bad the first time i thought i was losing my vision. but i quickly ate and drank orange juice and it cleared up shortly after.

it help with my symtoms

I have the flu, complete with debilitating migraine and body aches. Norel SR is supposed to be a pain killer. I thought Vicodin was the lowest brand pain killer you could be prescribed until I had this stuff. It's like tylenol, I took one, and i still had a migraine an hour later, so I took another and then I got dry heaves. I'm a professional pill-taker. I never puke. I still didn't sleep after the second one though. This stuff sucks.
