Hi,

Has anyone noticed an increased tendency to contract colds and/or the flu while being on meds? I've always been relatively illness free, save the odd cold.

I had a cold for a few days in early January and developed a cough which seemed to take over 3 weeks to dry up. I came down with a fever this past weekend and am now congested and coughing again.

My sweating has also been a little crazy since getting ill on Saturday. The weather here has been up and down, cool and humid mostly but sometimes warm with the afternoon sun. On Tuesday I felt clammy all day at work and after walking for 10 minutes to meet a friend that evening I was dripping. Yesterday I dressed lighter and wore a lighter jacket but I still got pretty sweaty at one point.

I'm on 100/Strattera - 100/Zoloft...strattera for approx 7 months and zoloft 4.

Actually, I've had a lot less cold and flu and fewer allergy problems. I think feeling less stressed has really helped in that regard and probably I'm taking better care of myself in general too. But when I do get sick, it really compromises how much my meds help -- like right now for instance!;)
