Actually, I wasn’t thinking about decongestants.
My wife has a little HBP. Surprisingly, a number of antihistamines raise BP, Benedryl being one of them. Which was something I didn’t know until it became an issue for her.
That’s odd, usually antihistamines slow body function, drowsiness being one of the main side effects in adults.
But you’re indeed right, there are some people that have opposite reactions...my kids sometimes get drowsy with dimetapp other times they’re needing to be peeled off the ceiling on it!
Some adults get ativan to calm them but a select few get wound up even tighter. So we move to haldol.
And take ritalin, it’s given to help kids with ADHD and calm them, but I knew a man that took it because he had narcolepsy, it helped him function by speeding his brain up.
