Suggest Medicine For Allergy That Can Be Taken With Anxiety Medicines

I have several sicknesses at the same time. I recently started taking Sertraline (generic for Zoloft - 150 miligrams) and Busporine (5 miligrams) for anxiety. I also for many years have had very bad seasonal allergies for which I took quite a bit of allergy medicine during those times. I now have a cold and allergies at the same time. What medicines can I take to treat this while on the other anxiety medicines? I don t want to mix the wrong stuff. Any help would be appreciated.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

There is a potential interaction with buspirone and setraline. They both increase the levels of a chemical called serotonin.

High levels of serotonin can potentially cause serious problems.

Setraline can potentially increase the level of loratidine (claritine) but does not interact with the other antihistamines or decongestants that you may use.

I hope this helps
