Glad you’re still here! I believe I had a focal seizure this morning as a result of taking 5-htp while on Prozac and vyvanse 🤦‍♂️ I had a strong Deja vu for 30-45 minutes and rhythmic movements in the hands and feet. I can’t IMAGINE how you felt lol

I think I once had (a mild case of) this. Took DXM with beer while using 5-HTP and mirtatzapine regularly as I didn't know about the interactions. Felt very dizzy, jittery, sweaty and disoriented for like a week.

@Vengeance627 Жыл бұрын

hey pal I have just recently and unfortuenly had the exact same experience with the same cocktail of substances you took minus mirta I took a low dose dxm dose with 300mg of 5htp (big mistake, folk may say it can't cause SS like ssris of any type do yet there are others out there who had the same thing), caused mild/moderate ss, went away, drank a few beers then it came back and I went to the ER. SS even mild is nightmare shit I felt like I was being scorched alive in tandem with a bad time of dxm the SS put me in. i see im far from the only one there are others on the reddit sub who experienced the same. it lasted a week for you :( sorry to hear it must of been awful it's day two-three for me I am fairly back to normal.

@ajh1894 10 ай бұрын

Benzos don’t cause serotonin syndrome. Benzos are a central nervous system drug. Matter or fact, benzos are the first line to treat serotonin syndrome. But may I ask which antidepressants? I just started one and one only. Taken remeron and celexa for years without having serotonin syndrome. But now I’m getting back on celexa to quit Kratom. I’m just curious for people who had it or know people what the actually drugs were that caused it

An unknown combo to be careful of is the OTC supplement 5HTP and onedestrone (zofran) os dangerous. But taking along with buspar, and hydroxizine even worse. Be sure you talk to your doctor before adding any supplements. I made this mistake and it was a terrible!

So I take Zoloft on a regular basis. Last night I was under the influence of marijuana, and realized I had forgotten to take my Zoloft during the day. I took it while high and what I experienced was scary to say the least. Uncontrollable shaking, everything looked fuzzy, and I almost passed out at one point. Could the combination of Zoloft with being high have cause Serotonin Syndrome?

Because of anxiety and panick attacks I quit caffeine( coffee, chocolate, green tea, coca-cola/pepsi, energy drinks) two weeks ago. My panick attacks were so bad I also had them in my sleep. At first I quit for a week, no more p.a, so I drank only one coffee and panick attacks came back the same day. Caffeine fu*ks up your brain's sensitivity. I drink only water now. I still have withdrawals, and can't concentrate, but my sleep improved, no panic attacks, anxiety, etc. Is hard but totally worth it. It will take a month I guess to clear up completely. Hope it helps.

So I’m on lexapro and a while back I was doing cocaine and ketamine while on the lexapro. I believe I had serotonin syndrome but it only lasted for 5 mins. It felt like a panic attack coming on except my hands and lip muscles because stiff as a board and I couldn’t talk or move my fingers. I started panicking. I was sweating profoundly and my pupils were dilated. I’m sure it was the interactions between everything but does it sound like that’s what happened? Should I have gone to the hospital?

Remember serotonin is produced in the gut. This is why it's important to eat foods based on your culture or your spirit. Only 10% is produced in our brain. If you eat bad foods you will reflect the energy that FOOD . anxiety, fear, and satiety. Remember healthy serotonin levels can help people feel calmer, happier, more focused, and less stressed.
