Hey,

I've got a crappy chesty cough and fever starting up and wondering if there's any issues with taking over the counter cold/flu meds? I know pain meds can be an issue... I think... I'm on Lithium and Zyprexa.

Check with your pharmacist. They are the best source for this kind of info.

Google the meds with the word "interaction". Maybe use the generic name for the drugs in question.
There is a great website that I was recommended for a similar query - but cannot remember
Your pdoc may also know, but they often don't know all possible interactions. I had a bad experience taking Cataflam D and Myprodol (Strong iBuprofen) with BP meds.
