I take zoloft nightly (12 am)and just took tussin dm ( 2 pm) will i be okay? i take 50 mg zoloft and 10 ml of the cough syrup. worried about seratonin

Mixing these: two medications may increase risk for serotonin syndrome. I can't reassure that you wouldn't have problems because some people have Serotonin on a brief, low dose of an SSRI.
