Im on Lexapro, and have had a coughing virus for weeks. I am taking Robitussin and or NyQuil. Does anyone else take cough meds while on SSRI's? Any docs say no, because of interaction?

Hi Indigojoe, I'm on Lexapro as well. The only thing I can safely take for a cough

is Robitussin's Guifascin or Walgreens Guifascin it has nothing else added

.I also use steam inhaling. Feel better soon x
