Hmmm. I'm back on Prozac and before that it was the usual parade of other SSRIs. Not familiar with "serotonin syndrome", will google it. I never had this problem in the old days, before I got properly Dxed and started on mood stabilizers. Maybe it's the combo? Arrgghhh...
My understanding about The Dreaded Rash was that it was caused by insufficient titration. My pdoc started me super-low and graduated very slowly. I've been on the stuff since 2001.
WHY CAN'T SOMETHING JUST WORK AND STAY WORKING??????
