Q: can i get serotonin syndrome from 20 mg fluoxetine and 10 mg oxycodone?

Serotonin Syndrome: Fluoxetine &amp; oxycodone can increase risk for Serotonin Syndrome. Although one normally is concerned about risks with higher medication doses - the problem is that some people can develop serotonin at low dosage levels.
