Brief Answer:
no possibility of serotonin syndrome

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for information.

Considering your medicine history there is no possibility of serotonin syndrome with any OTC for URI. You can continue the medicines you are taking safely with the OTC given to you.

If still any query there, I will be happy to answer. If not, you can close the discussion and give your feedback and rating so I can improve my service.

I was told that dayquil was bad or anything with 5htp and glutamine. I drink protein shakes that contain glutamin acid??? should I stop. I'm on the neurontin for aiding in my anxiety.

Brief Answer:
you can drink protien

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for asking your query.

You can take dayquil with protein shake. 5 htp is different thing from protein. No need to worry as there is no drug interaction between dayquil and protein shake as well as with neurontin.

Wish you good health.
