Dr. wants to add 37.5 mg of effexor (venlafaxine) to my prozac 10 mg. afraid of seratonin syndrome. can this happen. i'm very sensitive to medications.

Talk to your DR: I would tell your Psychiatrist of your concerns being so medication sensitive. I've only encountered 1 patient in 23 years who had this.. Although I'm a psychologist I monitor my patients closely for mood and side effects ( a large percentage are on Meds) and can provide feedback and consultation w their PCP or psychiatrist. I think you need to discuss this with your Dr and maybe proceed slowly.
