It sounds like the pharmacist is being cautious. But if your doctor prescribed, it's probably best to follow his/her instructions. I've heard of people taking larger doses of Traz with Effexor, and also larger doses of Serzone (a close cousin of Traz) with Effexor.
Serotonin syndrome is always a risk when we mix multiple serotonin medications. Infrequently it's even a risk on just one drug. As with any other approach, it might be a good idea to start low and go slow until you have a better feel for how you will respond to these meds.
