I am sick and I have post nasal drip, pressure in my head, a runny nose and every time I make sudden movement I get pain in my head and my teeth rattle and it hurts.

I am out of NyQuil and I might try mucinex. Is that what would be best for my symptoms?

I am wondering if there is a med interference?

I am on: Lamictal, Geodon, propalanol, Ativan and seasonal. I also took my visteral a couple of times. Although I took it on Wed and it made me so tired I could barely stand and struggled to make it through my 7 hour shift.

I went to the pharmacy.

I guess a lot of stuff interferes with my propalanol.

She told me to take Allegra. It seems to have made the symptoms worse. I can’t breathe through my nose because it’s so stuffed up. I wasn’t even having a stuffed nose. It was pretty much just post nasal drip now.

I'm on a slew of meds and it seems like all cold meds interact badly with Celexa, citalopram, so I'm not allowed to take any cold meds. The only things I'm allowed are a saline nasal spray and this weird herbal cough syrup that's made from Ivy. Surprisingly it works.

You really have to be careful with med interactions.

Mucinex and meds?

I'm on Lamictal and have been on Ativan at the same time. I am on different meds now with the Lamictal. However, I have taken Mucinex many times, without any problem.
As others here stated though, it is always good to check medication interactions. Calling a pharmacist doesn't take long and is probably best.

I wish I could get some releif. I’m swallowing huge mouthfuls of mucus and it’s so vile I literally feel like I’m swallowing some kind of infection. I’ve tried eating something. It only works for a few minutes. I’ve tried cinnamon and honey tea. There’s also this smell coming out of my chest or something. I also blew my nose and there was some blood. It’s driving me crazy.

Go to a Dr. You may have a sinus infection. There are prescription nasal sprays that contain steroids that are amazing - they're kind of expensive, 60 in Ontario, but worth it in my opinion. I was able to take it with no problem with my meds.
