It is most likely to occur when an MAOI and an SRI are combined, somewhat less likely when 2 SRI's are combined, and quite unlikely on a high dose of a single SRI
The illness covers a spectrum from mild to life threatening - in a mild case, stopping the offending meds would probably surfice (though i think it would be prudent to seek medical advice), in severe cases, high doses of periactin, chlorpromazine and other drugs and supportive measures are needed in a hospital setting.
I also suspect that because of publicity, people self diagniose seretonin syndrome in them selves on fairly shakey grounds.
