Decongestant & mental health meds
I’m trying to find a way to open my sinuses and keep taking my Olanzapine. I tried Guaifenesin but read that this combination is not recommended.
What can I take?
Hi,
!
You can definitely ask your doctor or pharmacist about contrindications and what you can take with Olanzapine. That said, most of the information I found about taking decongestants or antihistamines with Olanzapine was cautioning that Olanzapine can cause an increase in decongestant/antihistimine side effects, like drowsiness, dizziness, etc.
Again, your best bet is talking to a pharmacist or your doctor, who knows your full medical history and can offer safe advice.
