A member asked:
How likely is 20mg of fluoxetine a day to cause serotonin syndrome ? does taking levothyroxine increase risk?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Serotonin syndrome.: There is potential for a small/ clinically insignificant interaction between these two medications. It would be unusual to develop serotonin syndrome off such a low dose of Fluoxetine especially if not mixed in with other drugs that ^ serotonin levels. (however, there are rare cases where is can develop quickly at low doses).
