Did you know we can’t have cold medicine with anxiety/depression meds?!

Yesterday I developed quite the cold and decided to take some Tylenol cough cold and flu medicine. If you’re on an SSRI (Paxil, Prozac, etc) DO NOT. Apparently the dextromethorphan in medications like Tylenol cough cold and flu can cause a bad reaction called seretonin syndrome? Who would’ve thought!
