> I have been taking Prozac 40 mg. in the mornng and my doctor added Effexor HCL 75 mg. taken at night. Should I be worried about serotonin syndrome?
I know its a different drug, but my doctor is considering adding trazadone to my 225mg Effexor / 600mg lithium combo. He says he's tried it with patients before without any problems. I have also heard of mirtazapine being successfully prescribed along side Effexor.
Serotonin syndrome is always a risk I guess so always start with the lowest possible dose and work up from there.
