Hold off adder all: While treating cold stop the stimulants.

No problem!: The over-the-counter "cold medications" that might interact with your stimulants are pseudoephidrine and phenylpropanolamine, which can also "activate" the brain. So-called "decongestants" that work by changing the quality of your mucous, like guafenesine or bromepheniramine maleate, and "pain relievers" like aspirin, tylenol (acetaminophen) or advil are safe, .
