My doctor prescribed Zofran to help with stomach knots due to anxiety. I researched and read taking Zofran and Prozac although rare could cause serotonin syndrome. My physc never mentioned this. Any thoughts or experience with this combination?

Hi @sears, very smart of you to do your research before starting a new medication. You'll notice that I moved your message to this existing discussion about serotonin syndrome so that you can connect with @bruceg @texasduchess and others.

Here are some possibly useful articles to add to your research:
- Serotonin syndrome: Symptoms & Causes: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/serotonin-syndrome/symptoms-causes/syc-20354758
- Drug Interactions between Prozac and Zofran: https://www.drugs.com/drug-interactions/prozac-with-zofran-1115-648-1752-1120.html

@sears, would you be taking both Zofran and Prozac?
