I honestly don't know the answers to your questions. I understand the concern about not being able to survive or function without meds, but the phenelzine-fluvoxamine cross-taper does not sound wise. According to the table I have, a 10-14 day washout period is recommended for switching from phenelzine to fluvoxamine.
The symptoms of serotonin syndrome are listed as follows: excitement, diaphoresis (sweating), rigidity, raised temperature, speeded heart rate, lowered blood pressure. Although not listed, I believe shivering is also a symptom of serotonin syndrome.
Best of luck, please keep posting.-z
