My p-doc prescribed trazadone 100mg to help me sleep because I have insomnia from taking parnate. Parnate and trazadone are contra-indicated. I talked about this with my p-doc and talked about early symptoms of serotonin syndrome. When I went to the pharmacy, the wouldn't fill the prescription until they talked to my p-doc. I wasn't offended. They are being careful and want to make sure the doctor and patient understand the risks. At hospitals, the pharmacist is responsible to vet doctors' prescriptions and make sure the right med is sent and there are no contra-indications or errors. Retail pharmacists have the same responsiblity.
