    That might put you at risk for a seizure (as well as other nasty side effects) due to 'seratonin syndrome.'
    These medications are meant to increase the amount of seratonin (a neurotransmitting chemical in the brain.)
    Some people who suffer from clinical depression don't have enough seratonin in their brains; an increase in the amount of seratonin makes them feel better. But if you already produce enough seratonin, and you take drugs which increase THAT amount, you might be putting yourself at risk for, basically, a seratonin overdose.
    This is strong medication; don't take it if you don't need it.
