I take Benylin with DM and I think it keeps me awake. I take Zoloft. Is this normal?

This medication seems to stimulate me and I can't sleep if I take it. Suggestion?????? I am 73 years old. The only medication I take is Zoloft 25mg.

Good evening Madam,
I can confirm that taking DM syrup is contraindicated in your situation. In fact, it is very likely that this stimulation that is keeping you awake is from an interaction between the Zoloft™ and the syrup. Definitely avoid!"
Replace the syrup with a spoonful of warm honey, and try to decrease the amount of secretions in your throat (running from your nose) by using a product like Sinus Rinse™. This will help get you through your coughing symptoms faster.
True to your heart,
Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
