On Emsam Patch, Getting Constant Post Nasal Drip, Cough. Safer Medicines?

I take Emsam 6mg patch and where it for only 12 hours per day. I have a post nasal drip and a contstant cough that won't stop. It keeps me awake most of the night. There are so many drug interactions (major ones) of cough medications that I can't take. Is there one I can take safely that won't interact with emsam, either major, medium or minor?

ENT Specialist 's  Response
Hello,
You can take steam inhalations two or three times a day.
There is no medicines in that so safe ways of treating disease.
Go for brisk walk daily---it will secrete adrenaline ,natural decongestant---which will open up the airways and decongest the nose.
Daily exercises will help and do the same.
And will help in decreasing depression too.
