The risk of serotonin syndrome symptoms increases in patients using, m.in, MAOIs (e.g. moclobemide, selegiline, rasagiline), triptans or antidepressants from the SSRI group, SNRIs (more about this type of drugs can be read here: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/kategorie/leki-na-depresje). If you do not take the above-mentioned medications and you take the drug according to the schedule established by your doctor, the risk of developing symptoms of serotonin syndrome is low.
