Glad you asked: Yes - these are risky in combo and the worst is very serious indeed. Serotonin syndrome can be deadly - it's rare to be that bad, but it happens. BUT, if you've started this, please get a Dr to monitor your coming off - stopping these abruptly can also be very risky. I wish more people would ask - and before they start the Rx! A good Dr is worth finding even if it takes time. Interview them!
