>I guess it depends on your point of view. You could equally claim that SSRI's are causing the serotonin syndrome when they are added to MAOI's instead of the other way around.

I don't understand where you're coming from. I said:

'I get the impression most MAOI related fatalities are due to serotonin syndrome caused by drug-drug interactions'

I.e. it is the drug-drug *interaction* that is the cause of the fatality. SSRIs aren't combined with MAOIs anyway, many cases of MAOI serotonin syndrome seem to be caused by serotonergic opiates like DXM, pethidine and tramadol as well as OTC antihistamines like Benadryl and Piriton which have some SRI action.
