> Lar, IF I start taking just 5 mg of Lexapro a day (an ssri, of course) does that mean that I have to stop taking SJW? (I also take Remeron 30 mg/day) Thanks!
No. Just pay attention for adverse effects associated with excess serotonin, e.g. nausea, drowsiness, insomnia, loose stools, tremor, nervousness, sweating, fatigue, dizziness. More severe symptoms are constant diaphoresis (sweating), teeth chattering, shivering, chills, over confidence / aggressiveness and impaired concentration and thinking.
These symptoms would be constant, rather than something that comes and goes. If you're normally nervous, then that's not a good symptom to focus on, ya know?
