If you ask for it you can get full on ephedrine at a lot of pharmacies over the counter. Sold under the brand names Primatene and Bronkaid. Just prepare to be asked for your ID so they can track how much you buy (in the US anyways) since it's a meth precursor.

It's meant for people with asthma so it also includes guaifenesin.

Huh, I don't think I've ever taken ephedrine. Is it stronger than the pseudo version? Sudafed (or generics) usually works just fine for me, since I use it for stopping a runny nose.

It's better for chest congestion than pseudo (which is better for nasal).
