You cannot mix it with an MAOI and it has sodium in it, so I don't know how it would mix with lithium.

ACTIVE INGREDIENTS
Aspirin 325 mg (NSAID)* (Pain reliever/Fever reducer)
Chlorpheniramine Maleate 2 mg (Antihistamine)
Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide 10 mg (Cough suppressant)
Phenylephrine Bitartrate 7.8 mg (Nasal decongestant)
*nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug

Not sure what meds you already take. I would call my doc and ask for recommendation or speak to the pharmacist.

If it were me, I would lean on essential oils.

Hello!

Thanks for replying! I am going to ask my pdoc if that is okay. If I remember right, Dxm interacts with lithium so I'm gonna check with my doc just in case.
