A member asked:
What can i take for a cold while on effexor (venlafaxine) and paxil? i see information about some medicines causing serotonin syndrome when taken with ssris.

Avoid some mixtures: OTC cold remedies that contain dextromethorphan are ones to avoid due to the serotonin syndrome threat. There are many you can choose and your pharmacist can guide you. I hope you feel better real soon!
