Question 1

is mucinex safe with zoloft and strattera (atomoxetine) and efalex 50+ active ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Mucinex (guaifenesin) is Guaifenesin at higher dose, equal to taking Robitussin plain, and has no known interaction with the medicines mentioned.

Question 2

i just took mucinex dm with my zoloft, looked up drug interactions for my propranolol and found out i just set myself up for ss, what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Drink water: Drink plenty of water and eat a meal. You are unlikely to get serotonin syndrome after one dose of mucinex DM but you do need to avoid dextromethorphan if you are taking the zoloft. If you develop a fever, muscle pains or other symptoms see a doctor right away.

Question 3

i take 100 mg zoloft every morning. i accidentally took mucinex for a cold this afternoon without realizing it contained 20 mg of dextromethorphan. its been about 6 hours since i took the mucinex and i feel fine. could i get serotonin syndrome ?

Accepted Answer

Very less likely.: Zoloft dose is not too high. One time of 20mg of dextromethorphan is less likely to cause seronin syndrome.

Question 4

sinus cold..taking 50mgall sertraline. what cold meds safe? musinex or cold n sinis?

Accepted Answer

Depressed cold: Mucinex (guaifenesin) or afrin/neosynephrine nasal are largely considered safe. I tend to avoid oral decongestants as they cause ones heart to race - remember these are modified to make crystal meth. Be careful with afrin nasal if you have hypertension. Otherwise i hope you feel better.

Question 5

i normally take 50mg zoloft and i took it late tonight because i didn't think i'd taken it at the normal time but now i'm not sure if i did take it ea?

Accepted Answer

No Problem: There is no problem if you took 2 50 mgm tablets.Take your next 50 mgm dose at the usual time.

Question 6

when i haven't taken my zoloft (sertraline) in 2 + days (rarely happens that i skip) why does it cause me headaches?

Accepted Answer

Withdrawal symptom: When you miss your zoloft (sertraline) dose, you could be experiencing some withdrawal (or what the drug companies call "discontinuation") effects -- which can include headache.  I'm glad you rarely skip your doses for 2+ days.

Question 7

i haven't taken my medication (zoloft 200mg and lamictal 200mg) for 2 weeks. should i take my full dose again or half?

Accepted Answer

Do you need them?: These are antidepressants. If you function well without using them, then stay off of taking them completely. Otherwise you can go back on them(if you remain depressed without using them.)
These doses if tolerated before are fine to take them like before.

Question 8

i may have accidentally taken my
zoloft twice today. i am prescribed 150 mg,
so if i did double it it would be 300 mg. im feeling okay, but should i be worried? problem is i cant remember if i actually doubled it or not (early morning w/ toddler)?

Accepted Answer

: A busy family life can make it hard to keep track of your medication.  However, it is important to take your medication properly.   Putting the medication in a weekly dispenser, one compartment for each day, can show you at a glance if you've taken today's dose.  Best wishes.

Question 9

what pain relievers can be taken with zoloft (sertraline)?

Accepted Answer

Pain Relievers: Tylenol, (acetaminophen) aspirin, Motrin other nsaid's. However, if you are experiencing GI upset due to zoloft, you might want to forgo the nsaid's.

Question 10

on zoloft (sertraline) and feeling worse, can't think/focus. what do you suggest?

Accepted Answer

Zoloft (sertraline) side effect: Call your prescriber right away, explaining how you feel.  There are many alternatives that can offer the effect you need.
