Oxymetazoline is yet another arylethylamine:
The broad class tickles adrenergic receptors in some way. This one finds use in nasal sprays and eyedrops, making you less dribbly and look less terrible in the morning, respectively.

Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure was enabled by tetrahydrozoline (Visine). Fuel upgrade (Afrin)!
Non-dribbly not for long. Don't forget this class of drug causes rebound stuffiness after about 5 days.
Similar drug is clonidine. Similar structure and effects. Does anyone know if oxymetazoline has effects if taken orally? Clonidine causes powerful sleepiness and drop in blood pressure. Would be interesting to know...
