I'm the one whose pharmacist "freaks out" whenever my p-doc prescribes more than one SSRI-like med at the same time. Nevertheless, I've been on a multiple seratonin affecting meds together for quite some time without any dangerous or even mild negative side-effects.
You are taking a *very* low dose of Serzone. I take 400 mgs of Serzone every single day, along with 30-40 mgs of Prozac, some Neurontin (mood stabilizer with anti-depressant and anti-anxiety properties), Adderall, Amitriptyline, and klonopin.
I truly believe that you are in no danger whatsoever! If you start having major panic attacks, or your heart rate increases significantly and spends its time pounding its way through your rib-cage, or you are experiencing severe forms of headaches, mental dysfunction, or confusion, then worry!
You are certainly way deep in the "safe zone" regarding Serzone + SSRI adverse reactions. I would expect very little problems aside from the usual initial ramping-up on the Prozac.
I hope this helps, best of luck to you!
