Serotonin Syndrome
Diagnosis of Serotonin Syndrome
Typical symptoms developing in a person who is taking a drug known to cause serotonin syndrome Diagnosis of serotonin syndrome is based solely on the doctor's evaluation of a person's symptoms, physical examination findings (especially of the nervous system), and a history of taking a drug that affects serotonin receptors. There are no tests to confirm the diagnosis, but testing of blood and urine may be needed to exclude other disorders that cause high fever and similar symptoms, and to identify complications.
