Monitor carefully: I share your concern. Serotonin syndrome is possible with this combination.

This is possible: I would not recommend taking these 2 drugs together without close monitoring. They act by the same mechanism and have similar side effects. Ask your doctor if you could take something else or at least reduce the dose of 1 drug. Good luck!
