Wellbutrin has neglegable effects on serotonin, it is mainly a norepinephrine and dopamine reputake inhibitor. Remeron has no serotonin reputake effects. It does indirectly enhance the serotogenic system by influenc on the noradrenic alpha 2 autoreceptors. Effexor increases serotonin through its reputake capabilities.
Effexor and remeron can be a power punch "calafornia rocket fuel" it was dubbed. I cant even imagine adding wellbutrin :) Anyhow I am under the notion that if serotonin syndrome is going to develop, it will upon initiation of the drugs. I don't think it can develop over time, but I could be wrong.
Best of Luck
