A member asked:

Can i take my brom-pse-dm cough syrup with ibuprofen for headach and my anxiety medication all at the same time?

PSE worsens anxiety: It is best to avoid medications containing PSE if you have anxiety, as it worsens the anxiety. The other ingredients listed are fine, however, and can be taken together without worsening the anxiety. Find a cough syrup without PSE.

Depends...: Do you mean brom-fed dm? And what anxiety med are you taking? The brom-fed cough syrup can make you drowsy as can some anxiety meds. So, depending on which anxiety med you are taking, you do need to be careful about over-sedation by taking both of these meds at the same time. It would be ok to take the ibuprofen at the same time. Let us know exactly which meds you are taking if this is not helpful
