> I wonder if I would get serotonin Syndrome. I am on Venlafaxine 37.5 and Trazodone 75. If it wasn't for that fact, I'd try it in a heartbeat. No weight gain, right? But it could have sexual sides because it is a Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor.

Your dose of both these drugs is so low that I wouldn't worry the slightest about serotonin syndrome. In any case, life-threatening serotonin toxicity (ST) is exceedingly rare with only reuptake inhibitors. As a precaution, though, it may be a good idea to have some cyproheptadine (Periactin) (CHD) at hand as an antidote. Actually, now it occurs to me that trazodone blocks serotonin 5-HT2A receptors, which is the same action through which CHD works as an antidote to ST.
