Cold medicine on Paxil/SerotoninSyndrome

2018-03-07 13:27:20
I’ve had a cold for a few days now and would like to know what cold medicine I can take while also on the SSRI Paxil (20mg). I tend to be very sensitive to chemical changes brought on by meds and react strongly, so serotonin syndrome is something I’d like to avoid when finding a cold medicine to take. What are some over the counter options available that will have little to no interactions with my Paxil medication? Thanks!

You seem to be suffering from viral rhinitis which is a common type of nose infection. You can safe use routine cold preparations such as anti Histamines and decongestant nasal drops for symptomatic relief
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
