Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
I read your question carefully and I understand your concern.
Regarding nicotine poisoning I do not think that is the case if you mean posioning by usual smoking, it is a syndrome observed when nicotine has been ingested or due to some nicotine containing insecticides.
As for the combination of Luvox and Endone, that could have repercussions. Endone can raise Luvox levels increasing the possibility for side effects, up to the point of a serotonin syndrome which can include all the symptoms that you mention and can get even more serious. However, that syndrome is very rare and it depends on dosage as well. Those symptoms are not specific, may also be due to other causes such as a simple viral infection, so should wait for the results of tests before drawing premature conclusions.
I remain at your disposal for other questions.
