Dear Lybrate-user, It is safe to take venlafaxine and paroxetine. You doctor knows better. If you have started with one tablet at low dose, later gradually increased dose and added another drug in low dose, no need to worry about serotonin syndrome. You have not mentioned the dose of each drug and duration of taking them.

Serotonin syndrome is a possibility only at high dose with medications that act on the serotonin receptor level making increasing amounts of serotonin levels available for chemical action. However it is safe to take medications under the supervision of a psychiatrist. Look forward to hearing from you.
