Any sinusitis/rhinitis/upper respiratory docs out there? What can’t I mix?

That’s a concoction there bud. I think that’s the secret gay sauce, actually. You’re still gonna be welcome here anytime, though.

Could add in a Claritin or Allegra for a couple of days to really knock that mucus/Drainage out in case the Zyrtec doesn’t do much ( which it has lost a lot of effectiveness for me personally )

Otherwise it’s a revolving door or mucus drip that is irritating and also irritating the throat as well .

Now - cough syrup. If I take robatussin with these meds, will I die?

Check with kind of robitissin you have .. if it’s the one with Guafenisin, well you’re already taking the same ingredient with the mucinex. No need to double dip there as that just breaks it loose from your chest to help get it out, which doesn’t really sound like your problem anyway from your OP.

If you have the one with dextromethorphan, then yeah you could add that on if your cough persists

Robitussin is just more Mucinex. Looks like you’ve got plenty already. Bromfed and Chlorohist are just more Zyrtec so don’t need that either. Sudafed is good. Honestly you’ve got it covered. Maybe add a Benadryl at night to help sleep and dry you up a bit while you do.

Medscape drug interaction checker is your friend baw, especially when you have sinus junk going on, and if you already take non-related prescription meds.

Not sure on what you’re mixing and any potential reactions, but get the Neil Med Sinus flush. The one with the bottle, it will help flush that shite out.

Interestingly enough, my head/nose isn’t stopped up (other than the constant clear colored drip). It’s my chest that’s hurting so bad, and that’s mostly because of the brutal cough.

Percocet to make you think you feel better and Xanax to make you pass out
Rinse repeat until your sniffles are gone

Drink lots of water with the Mucinex.. Give it a couple of days…

Take whatever combo you want, but realize anything that crosses over is subject to the same singular limits (ie- once you’ve taken the max dose of Sudafed, you shouldn’t take any bromfed, which contains Sudafed)


Also note:
Brompheramine, dexbrompheramine, and cetirizine are all antihistamines. While you can make the argument that you can take once daily cetirizine plus the max dose of one of these other two (on the bottle), you can’t take the max dose of both of these. Overdoing antihistamines can get pretty nasty, but the vast majority of people tolerate them pretty well (thus the suggestion that it may be fine to take a daily cetirizine along with the q6h antihistamine of your choice. Cetirizine is a little unique. It sort of bridges the gap between “old” and “new” antihistamines. It has more drowsy potential (and, arguably, more “snot-drying” potential as well) than Claritin, Allegra (and is basically the same medication (by active form) as xyzal), thus the risk for interaction with the brompheramine and its analogues is a bit higher, but it’s not in the “definitely don’t do that” category.

Nasal rinse with Budisonide. End threat

I find the best combo for me when fighting a respiratory cold is:

Claritin - antihistamine for any allergies contributing to congestion
Sudafed (pseudoephedrine) - the 4 hours from behind the counter for sinus decongestion
Flonase - nasal decongestion
Mucinex - for chest decongestion
Delsym - for cough (at night, can cause drowsiness)
Advil/Tylenol - for any pain

Much better than the cold and flu combos where they throw some of those ingredients in but not all and use the dumb form of sudafed (phenylephrine).

Am I missing any component?
