Pseudoephedrine made me want to jump out of my skin. The psychiatrist told me to never take it again. I had to page her it was that bad.

I was taken off it in four days while I was inpatient on a short term psych ward. I had horrible extrapyramidal effects that lasted at least a year. The psychiatrist was a sadist. I asked him why he was taking it off me so quickly. He said "because I don't want you to be in the hospital...
