Actually uncommon: Serotonin syndrome gets a lot of mention, but is actually more often a potential problem than a clinical issue. Concerns with certain medications and drug interactions seem to highlight the category. Best you discuss your current and future medications with risks in mind. A conference with your doctor should answer all of your concerns.
