I was reading through a web site about drug interactions, and the author had a footnote about a woman who was on Paxil, and hoping to get pregnant. Her doctor wrote her a prescription for "Prenate" which she promply filled, but which the pharmacist read as "Parnate." After taking the dosage listed on the rx (along with her Paxil), she went into severe serotonin syndrome and died the next day. Agh. Halloween med story.
