WARNING! Serious SSRI drug interraction

Posted by neuro123 on February 7, 2010, at 11:07:53

Hello. I hope this post reaches out and saves someone's life.
Recently, there has been a lot of talk about the possibility of the fatal serotonin syndrome.
SSRI leaflets contain information about a number of drugs/substances which can cause it when used together with the SSRI, but they have not put one more - Flagyl / Metronidazole.
Metronidazole is used for anaerobic infections / mainly STD's.
Metronidazole significantly increases serotonin levels and combined with a SSRI antidepressant, causes serotonin syndrome.
Please be aware.
