Cough medicine question

[Aliciar]

Anyone on a Ssri have you taken over the counter cough suppressant? I can’t find one that doesn’t interact with Zoloft and this cough is killing me

[tamka38]

Hi how long u been taking Zoloft? And u can always call your pharmacy and ask them they’re very helpful.

[Aliciar in reply to tamka38]

I go to a small town one they aren’t open today i was gonna call them tomorrow just looking for something to get me through the night

[tamka38 in reply to Aliciar]

Hey I just my pharmacist and she said u can take any other the counter medication and it shouldn’t interfere with zoloft so that’s should be good news I hope it was helpful

[Aliciar in reply to tamka38]

Aliciar, there is one that I know of that I take. Plain Robitussin

with just Guaifenssin It loosens the cough and produces a

more productive cough. My doctor has deemed it safe for anyone

on medication. Walgreens carries it under their name as well.

I also use inhaling steam when cough is bad. Breaks up the

congestion. Hope this helps some. Feel better soon. xx

[tamka38]

And I ask u about zoloft because I take zoloft

[Agora1 in reply to tamka38]

Hi tamka, I am on Lexapro which is also another SSRI. It does not

interact with these psyche meds. You can also use steam inhalation

as well as drinking Chicken broth which has properties that thin the

mucous in the chest which is causing the cough. Stay safe. Be well. xx

[tamka38 in reply to Agora1]

Hi Agora how are u?

[Agora1 in reply to tamka38]

I'm okay. Worried about you. Was your mom brought

into the hospital?

[tamka38 in reply to Agora1]

The ambulance came to get here and am still panicking

[Agora1 in reply to tamka38]

I know honey. It's not easy but you need to be strong for

yourself right now. As hard as that may be. xx

I live in England and take Fisherman's Friends for my catarrh. I wonder if it is a side effect of Sertraline/Zoloft, as I don't remember my catarrh being so bad when I switched to Citalopram for several months last year.
