I am not sure how common serotonin syndrome is. According to the Wikipedia article, it occurs in 14-16% of patients who overdose on SSRIs. However, I'm not clear on its definition of 'overdose.'
I currently take Effexor and Prozac and have for at least four years. I have had no problems. Effexor is in the same category as Cymbalta and Prozac is in the same category as Paxil.
