Two questions about Serotonin syndrome.

Posted by schleprock on September 19, 2012, at 21:44:22

1. Has anyone here actually had it. What are the most common symptoms that one can know are unmistakebly SS related and not side-effects or an exacerbation of mental illness. And most importantly, what do you do when you know you have it? Go straight to the ER or merely self-unmedicate the offending medicine.
2. Does SS occur exclusively from the mixture of more than one serotonin-acting drug, or is it possible to experience it from a particular dose (or overdose) of a single drug? In regards to the former situation, is it possible that the combination of two drugs that have a weak effect on serotonin could result in SS.
Thank you, and stay well.
