Cold Medicine Options and Lexapro

Hi there,

Day 35 on Lexapro and feeling great. Still small amounts of anxiety that can be managed with a very small amount of Klonopin. Feeling very thankful in that regard :)

HOWEVER, if its not one thing, its another right? I just started a new job which I love, but of course I have come down with the cold from hell. Day 6 on the job and I'm hacking (really nasty wet coughs), sneezing, and blowing my nose every two seconds. I am totally aware of the interactions with certain cold medicines but I am dying for some relief here...

So, what have you used for your colds? I have been taking Fishermans Friend lozenges which are disgusting but help a little. LOTS of green tea, black tea, every kind of tea imaginable.Tylenol which never seems to do anything for me. Any advice you all can give to help a sister out is hugely appreciated.

Thx!

Kate for several years i think about 10 i havent had a cold, i use zink lozenges and benadryl at bed time,
a doctor told me that germs cant reproduce in a zink environment, the benadryl keeps the sinuses open
so no infection can set in. Peace
