Brief Answer:
Sudafed is safe decongestant but not in combination

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

I read your question and i understand your concern. SSRIs like nefazodone may have a contraindication with some decongestants that contain dextromethorphan or anti histamines like loratadine as they may increase serotonin levels to danger points.

You may take some decongestants like sudafed ( plain and no combo specially sudafed PE cold and cough) for the cold and take home remedies like hot beverages , boiled eggs and soups etc for the relief.

I hope it helps. take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
