I take 10 mg of lexapro and have a really bad cough and sore throat. Is there any OTC cough medicine that I can take?

Started taking it in Dec. after about a month started coughing at night.  Dry tickle would make me cough and gag.  Got worse as weeks went by, finally had to wean off of it.

I take Lexapro and have never had this problem, or heard of it. Maybe something else is going on. Better check with your Doctor. Maybe you are getting a virus or the flu.

To be on the safe side, I would ask the pharmacist, he/she will be able to tell you exactly what is safe to take and what to avoid.
