Hmm...
I hate being sick, and no one appears to have any good ideas.
I went to Target to ask the pharmacist there if she had any ideas on what I could take. After I told her which meds I was taking, she started walking up the cold meds section and pointing out why I couldn't take some of the meds. Then I asked about Serotonin Syndrome (a potentially deadly syndrome you can get from taking too many meds that mess with serotonin levels), and she asked me what my doses were. When I told her, she said: "There is nothing here I can give you without having what I consider an unreasonable risk of serotonin syndrome. I have to recommend you don't take any sinus or cold meds. Have you tried saline nasal spray?"
And from my bipolar groups:
1. It's not as dangerous as they make it sound--Oops! I didnt read your doses, you're on more than me. It is as dangerous as they make it sound.
2. Drink more water and take vitamin C. Zinc lozanges also help, but don't use too much. I don't know how much is too much.
3. I'm so sorry. There's really nothing you can do.
4. Take a shot of whiskey, heat it up as hot as you can drink it, then add lemon and a shitload of honey. That will make you feel better. I guess if you can't drink, chicken noodle soup might help.
5. Take your seroquel, take a shower, take some advil, and go to bed. Maybe seroquel after the shower...passing out is dangerous.
So I'm going to go curl up in front of the tv, and try to feel better.
