Medication Question - Mirtazapine and cold medicines?

[nightcat]

heyy there,
I'm currently taking Mirtazapine and am generally quite a healthy person.
But recently I've come down with a really chesty cough and the most annoying cold.
I've been trying to get hold of my doctor to ask him but to no success so I was wondering if anyone knows if I can take cough/cold medicines while I'm on it and also what would be the best to take it if I can?
Thanks

I believe its only the MAOIs that you should not combine with dencongestants that contain sympathomimetics. But mirtazapine is not an MAOI so I am supposing its ok, but I am not a doctor so best to wait for your doctor to get back to you.

EDIT: mirtazapine is a tetracyclic antidepressant and my textbook says that combination with sympathomimetics can be troublesome. But ask your doctor.
