I took my new dose this morning and felt fine all day, but tonight my muscles are twitching (something I've experienced occasionally, before starting buspirone). I'm worried it's seratonin syndrome and that the symptoms will get worse overnight but they won't wake me up in time to get help. I'm afraid to take my dose tonight. Should I be worried or am I overreacting?

I think your overreacting. Those two drugs are commonly taken together. Serotonin syndrome is pretty rare. I take lexapro and trazodone every night both ad's and never had issues. The Dr. is just letting you know it's a possibility.
