Can Robitussin DM Be Taken Immediately Post Duloxetine Withdrawal?

I have been on duloxetine and recently tapered off, I didn t take it last week but am not sure about the week before and I just bought robitussin DM for bronchitis cough. I am also on lisinopril 5mg for HTN and take baby asa. The bottle of robitussin dm says to not take it if having stopped anti-depressants within the last two weeks. I m concerned about risk.

Thank you for the question,

rarely there is an interaction between duloxetine and robitussin. If you are not sure that 2 weeks have passed I would suggest not taking robitussin for another week just to be safe.

Kind Regards
