Serotonin syndrome: I have never seen a case of serotonin syndrome but have been careful not to prescribe the vast array of medications that shouldn't be combined with ssri's like lexapro. I don't believe that trazodone or klonopin raise serotonin levels and therefore can be taken with lexapro. However I would like you to verify this with your pharmacist who has access to more information than most physicians.
