Taking zoloft (sertraline) 50 mg a day. can i take robitussin for cold symptoms?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Dextromethorphan in the Robitussin may add to zoloft (sertraline) and create a serotonin syndrome -- high fever, restlessness, confusion, dilated pupils, sweating, diarrhea, headache, and more if severe. Please ask your doctor about alternatives.
