Yes: Exercise can increase serotonin levels. In addition, several of your medications listed can cause serotonin syndrome as well. Advise calling your doctor ASAP. Your medication should be adjusted.

Please repost: and please provide DETAIL of WHAT your symptoms were when you had serotonin syndrome, so we don't have to guess; & whether your symptoms now are EXACTLY the same or if there are ANY differences; and if so, what.
