A member asked:
Could od of pseudoephedrine cause alpha-1 receptors to remain highly sensitive and despite normal catecholamines, keep np, palps, etc. high?

Equal: Interesting question. In general most receptors start developing tolerance after a while needing higher dosages to have similar effects. Saying some would be more susceptible than others is a subjective question. In my opinion and experience all should be affected equally
