Dealing with Serotonin Syndrome: Need Advice

Hi has anyone here had Serotonin Syndrome and was able to go back on an antidepressant afterwards or are we sensitive to serotonin raising meds after Serotonin Syndrome? Keep hearing conflicting stories. Would like to hear from real people who have been through this. Thanks!!

Can you help? Connect today

Had serotonin syndrome- my psychiatrist put me on klonopin instead of another ago depressant because my anxiety was so bad. Depression got worse especially the first week or so I went off Wellbutrin. Not on another antidepressant- but I have noticed my depression being less extreme after the first week or so off of it

hi thanks for replying. After having serotonin syndrome were you able to go back on an antidepressant other than wellbutrin?

I have ad serotonin syndrome and have never been able to take another serotonin adjusting medication. Even cold medicine can cause it

Pittbulllove

do you know why this happens? (That after serotonin syndrome we are no longer able to take serotonin raising meds?)

and does it happen right away if taken a serotonin med or does it slowly come on?
