Pseudoephedrine is good stuff for sinuses and congestion. It definitely dehydrates, but it does the job. Just drink a lot. I HATE that I have to show my ID to buy the stuff. So tedious.
I actually had hallucinations from the stuff once back in high school. I was SUPER skinny and about ten inches shorter than I am now, with a crazy metabolism and hadn't eaten for awhile. I took some DayQuil (back when it had real sudafed in it) and probably should only have taken one. I got to my physics class, sat down, and the class began filling up around me. The professor was at the front of the class teaching, and spouting gibberish (I recall him saying "square bunnies" but the rest of it was nonsense). One of the other students came in and slammed his briefcase (briefcases were "a thing" at the time amongst a certain group) down on the desk next to me. I awoke from my stupor to find the classroom empty except two other people, and the professor over in his office, not in front of the class teaching.
After that, I was REALLY, REALLY careful about taking dayquil or sudafed. Sudafed still makes me feel a little weird (harder to focus) but it's worth it when I'm feeling miserably sick.
