I have been told by my pharmacist that I am able to take cold medicines that are for daytime only. Something in the "night time" medicines, i.e. Nyquil, can interact with Lexapro. If in doubt, call the pharmicist and ask them! Hope this helps :)

∙ 12y agoSoo this is a question i've googled a million times and asked several pharmasists and doctors, Now don't quote me on anything I'm about to say but this is the conclusion that I came to. Every pharmacist has a different story on what you can and cannot take, but the general consensus has been that you can take anything that is not DM and you'll be alright. Of course, if you are still ill after a week or so then you should probably go to the doctor and not keep up the regiment but I guess my best advice is, just be careful, Avoid any meds that say DM, or that contain alcohol, Alcohol is a big no no from what I've heard when taking any anti depressants. Also, A lot of the pharmacists I have talked to have told me that the only anti depressants now a days that really react with cold meds are those that people are on for like serious panic meds. Again, I'm no doctor, I suffer from severe anxiety and have to ask everyone ten million times before i take anything but I personally found that within safe limits, it's okay. I recommend Theraflu. There's also a kind at walgreens that is 100% natural that does not react with any meds. I think it starts with an O and it's like honey flavored. Hope it's some help. God bless - Erin

No ill effects. When medicine is essential outdated medicine is better than no medicine.
What side effects can taking Adderall zoloft and corricidin cold and cough have?
Well the drug in cold and cough medicines that makes you "trip" is dextromorphan or DXM for short. Taking dextromorphan with sertraline(zoloft) can cause serotonin syndrome, which is pretty dangerous and the medicine information that came with my zoloft says it can be fatal. I also think that your not supposed to take adderal with zoloft either, probably for the same reasons, but Im not sure about that one. Just google drug interactions between the things you might be taking. Gotta be on the safe side with medicine!

How do you cure cats?
Well, it depends on what kind of illness it is. If it has a disease, then your best bet would be to take it to a vet. For a common cold, ask your vet for cold medicine. (If they have it) I'm not a cat expert. If they don't have cold medicine, it might get better on it's own.
