Yes, the combination of Brintellix and Zolmitriptan may increase the risk of serotonin syndrome, which is a rather rare phenomenon - but extremely life-threatening. Therefore, medicines used together should be used under close medical supervision and observation of the patient's state of health. Serotonin syndrome includes symptoms such as confusion, hallucinations, seizures, extreme changes in blood pressure, increased heart rate, fever, excessive sweating, chills or tremors , blurred vision, muscle spasm or stiffness, tremor, lack of coordination, stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. If you notice any worrying symptoms, please see a doctor immediately.
