serotonin syndrome

an aggregation of symptoms resulting from elevated levels of serotonin, usually due to ingestion of two or more drugs (for example, MAOIs, SSRIs) that interfere with serotonin metabolism at different points. Symptoms occur on a spectrum and may include agitation, confusion, diaphoresis, diarrhea, fever, shivering, tremor, myoclonus, rigidity, trismus, opisthonus, seizures, drowsiness, hallucinations, and coma. Autonomic signs include abdominal pain, diarrhea, flushing, hypertension, mydriasis, salivation, tachycardia, and tachypnea. Hyperthermia is common. More advanced cases may include patients suffering DIC, rhabdomyolysis, renal failure, respiratory failure, and ARDS.

See MAOI, SSRI.

serotonin syndrome

A potentially dangerous reaction to drug administration or drug interactions that involve excessive serotonergic agonism. The effects range from mild to life-threatening and include AKATHISIA, tremor, altered mental states, agitation, clonus, muscular hypertonicity, hyperthermia and death. Many drugs have been found to be implicated and these are not limited to the selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors.
