    SWIM is on 50 mg a day zoloft and just took 150 mg of dxm. SWIM Though they did their homework on it but just realized the risk of serotonin syndrome. Should I be concerned with such a small dose? also has someone you know ever tired it? thanks!

    he/she will be fine. I took Zoloft at the same dose while doing dex or dph.

    SWIY Will be fine, trust me. You will know if you get serotonin syndrome.

    The risk is low. 150 mg Dextromethorphan is not even much more than the prescribed dose for an entire day.

    Like the above said, you know when you are experiencing Serotonin Syndrome. It happened to me once when a stupid Physician's Assistant scripted me Imitrex (a 5-HT agonist) despite me WARNING her that I am on a high dose of the antidepressant Effexor. It was a nasty experience. She never even got in trouble...
