I forget which one it is - but its the "vanilla" brand of that line
(i.e. no Xplus,DD,EM type label) ... ask your pharmacist -

Donna and others:
Last year I did not get a flu shot and got sick. My neuro
recommended 'Robitussin' pediatric - no additives that
interfere with MAO-inhibitor meds - BUT, it was largely
unsatisfactory in dealing with the various symptoms (aching
limbs, runny nose, sore throat) even at a dose per every two
hours.
Vicks 'Vaporub', the steam humidifier, saline nasal spray,
lots of tylenol, lots of hot liquids (clear soup, tea with lemon)
and citrus juices, kept the symptoms at bay for four-five
days, until the flu resolved itself.
This year I already got my flu shot AND I DO NOT
INTEND TO GET SICK! If I do, my GP, M.D. promises
milder symptoms and a shorter bout. We'll see.
