Dextromethrophan, is the most common cough syrup. It is known to react with lithium carbonate (found in anti depressants or bipolar treatments) to some patients (Not all, don't freak out). If it isn't a cough syrup made of this, than i don't think anything should go wrong, the side effect of it being mixed with lithium shouldn't make you feel anything more than tired (so if your taking the medication and going off to bed, i'd think that is fine).
Maybe try some honey?

Can you take lisinopril and lithium and hctz?
HCTZ will increase the reabsorption of ions like sodium and lithium. For this reason, your doctor should consider reducing administration of Lithium by 50-75%. You should also monitor for toxic effects of Lithium, which can develop slowly but with long-term use of Lithium. There is a long list of symptoms from toxicity; these would include mania and muscle rigidity. Lithium has a Black Box warning that says that Lithium toxicity can occur even at therapeutic doses and that a patient need to visit his or her doctor and get serum Lithium levels to make sure that Lithium levels are adequate for treatment of their disorder. I would take the FDA up on their suggestion.
