Serotonin Syndrome
Symptoms of Serotonin Syndrome
Symptoms of serotonin syndrome often begin within 24 hours of ingestion of a drug that affects serotonin receptors. Symptom severity can vary widely. People may have anxiety, agitation and restlessness, easy startling, and delirium with confusion. Tremor or muscle spasms, muscle rigidity, rapid heart rate, high blood pressure, high body temperature, sweating, shivering, vomiting, and diarrhea may occur. Symptoms usually resolve within 24 hours, but symptoms may last longer depending on the time required for the body to break down the drug.
