> Serious stuff here. I think it deserves mention that the proper term for the deadly surprise attack you have flirted with is Serotonin Toxicity, not Serotonin Syndrome. It is not a syndrome. It is a toxic poisoning.

> Symptoms come on very rapidly without warning. All can seem fine, and then all of a sudden. And if you don't get to a hospital fast, and they don't recognize what is happening, you're dead.

> To your original topic...What have you not tried? How about that route? A TCA like Amitriptyline or Nortriptyline or Desipramine in combination with Zoloft for example? I mean, if serotonin alone isn't doing anything, then get some Norepinephrine involved. If Parnate alone hasn't done it, then reconsider the dose. Some people need unususally large doses of it. Wait a week though to let all the Luvox be completely gone.

>I can't handle anything with noradrenaline.. it makes me agitated, angry , lowers BP seriously, causing fainting spells and causes sexual dysfunction where it feels like someone stabbing me through the prostate with a knife. It also takes away all my energy making me very lethargic even though it's generally considered to be involved in giving energy rather than taking it.
Seratonin just kills all emotions and makes me very sleepy as well as the usual sexual dysfunction (impossible to reach orgasm) It relieves depression but also kills any happiness iam able to feel which meansno more smiling or laughing which iam at least able to do when not on AD's even if iam suicidal.
I know all abut seratonin syndrome... to be perfectly honest i was hoping it would kill me, i knew it wuldn;t though because iam not that lucky.
Also nothing is allowed to be combined with MAOIS's here, and TCA's can't be mixed with SSRI's (or similar). We are quite backwards here in AUS.
