I know this is probably unlikely, especially considering Ive been on this combination of meds for months and it probably wouldve been considered beforehand by my doctors office... but I'm curious.

Any side effects I happen to notice seem to be mild, but it's occasionally distracting.
I'm not sure how many people can offer an opinion, but anything could help.

Current Med Combo = Serotonin Syndrome Risk?
ADD/ADHD(Inattentive) - Adderall 30mg x2
General Anxiety Disorder - Sertraline 100mg
Long-Term Depression - Wellbutrin 150mg x2

Your risk of developing serotonin syndrome is actually quite low - it's actually really hard to get and you need seriously higher levels of serotonin, than you'll get from being on 2 AD's.

I also take 2 AD's that affect serotonin. I'm on Effexor 375 mg, and Celexa 40 mg. I've been on this combination since 2007 and I've never had any problem.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
