Hi Sir Thanks for seeking help here. After stopping one SSRI or SNRI abruptly , you can start another after the wash out period. Like 7 days in this case. Most importantly this is not a clear criteria of serotonin syndrome...it's very milder version. Fever and myalgia , myoclonus are more prominent symptoms which indicates towards serotonin syndrome.

Next Steps

Relax yourself , Practice JPMR from YouTube. you will be fine soon ...
