What the actual occurrence of serotonin syndrome is in the fluoxetine/phentermine combination I don't know, but there have been cases of it. Ask your doctor about that combo. These cases may or may not be clinically relevant to your treatment regimen:
Goldberg, Richard J. MD. Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors: Infrequent Medical Adverse Effects. Archives of Family Medicine. 7(1):78-84, January 1998.
"...It {serotonin syndrome} has been reported from the combination of fluoxetine and phentermine, an amphetamine-like appetite suppressant with sympathomimetic properties. This reaction occurred 8 days after discontinuation of fluoxetine when one 30-mg tablet of phentermine was added to the patient's treatment regimen. The patient developed severe physical and psychological activation with stomach cramps, palpitations, and tremors.
