Hey all,

There is a bit of a cold going around where I live and my throat feels sore and gunked up, but it's really stressing me out tonight. I feel like if I sleep it's going to close up my throat if I bend my neck wrong. And my cold medication all has stuff that interacts with my zoloft so I can't take anything for it. I hate feeling like I can't breathe.

Hi Morag,

I am sorry that you are not feeling well.:( Being/getting a sick with a virus or other illness can certainly be an anxity trigger for people with anxiety.

Try and remember that it is something that happens to everyone, and that you will be fine with some rest and time to recover.

If you can't take anything, try gargling with warm salt water to soothe your throat. Using a humidifier in your room may also help.

Plenty of liquids and rest should find you feeling better soon. :)

Wishing you well!

S.C.

Hi,

Also you can call your pharmacist, they will be able to recommend something you can take that won't interfere with your Zoloft.
