Sorry to hear about your cold. That's definitely a dilemma for MAOI users. I take Claritin, an over the counter antihistamine. That helps me with general allergies. Before I went on Nardil, I used to take Claritin-D, which also contained the decongestant pseudoephedrine. That's a big no-no. From what I have read, any decongestant you take (perhaps other than nasal sprays) would risk having a hypertensive crisis. You certainly don't need that in addition to being sick!

And be careful with chicken soup! Many in the stores contain that lovely and ubiquitous yeast extract. They may also be made with chicken stock and/or bouillion. I have found stuff in the organic section that seems safer.

Take care!
