I've had life threatening serotonin syndrome before. I went to the emergency room with every symptom of serotonin syndrome. I could bearly speak I was so confused, but I had brought in a sheet with the symptoms I had printed off months before cluched in my hand.
The docotor said it was a panic attack and sent me home.
I self medicated for the next 96 hours by getting off the SSRI, and taking periactin, and warm baths
slowly the symptoms abated.I have never, in my life, been so utterly discusted with the state of medical understanding in my provence.
Anyhow, ever since I have have a healthy respect for these drugs, and a little leary of any combinations that might provoke serotonin syndrome.
