A member asked:

Used a prep h suppository. now feel jittery. how long does it take to get out of my system?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hard to know: The only ingredient of that product that would trigger such a response is phenylephrine. Since suppositories are notorious for their unpredictable absorption pattern it may be hours or a few days. It has a caffeine like effect which is what you are sensing.
