> a "minor" event. I think your advise is dangerious.What I stated is based on scientific fact..and according to statistics, most cases of serotonin syndrome ARE mild, and resolve spontaneously. Treatment for the vast majority of cases is considered "supportive"

Also, the only advice I gave was (and I quote MY own previous post):
"If you are considering taking off a couple days of the traditional MAOI wash-out period; I would first talk to your Dr. about it..."
I hardly consider that "dangerous"
