Be careful: Although it is unlikely that your friend is having a full-blown serotonin syndrome, your concerns do seem to suggest dysfunctional behavior secondary to adverse effects of meds. This could exacerbate and needs to be brought to the attention of the treating doctors ASAP.

Zoloft and Prozac: Both Zoloft and Prozac have side effects; and are in the same family of SSRI Medications. Using Zoloft with Prozac can increase the risk of an irregular heart rhythm. It is not necessary to take both medications Have your friend write: • Reasons for taking Zoloft and Prozac. • Stresses of relationship and work Please go with your friend to her Psychiatrist and discuss these and Therapy.
