Serotonin Syndrome Symptoms'

Petulance, Craze, Loss of consciousness, Fits, Restlessness, Increased heart rate, Perspiration, Chill, Tremor, Cerebral status changes, Restlessness, Increased reflexes, Increased reflexes, Stiffness, Moving, Pain in the belly, Diarrhea, Perspiration, Increased heat, Hypertension. Just about all these are symptoms of serotonin syndrome. All may come typically within the first day soon after taking a particular overdose of serotonin drugs. This signs are on cognitive level, visceral nervous system level as well as SoNS stage. Serotonin Toxidrome come usually soon after o.d. of serotonin drugs and drug combination that increase synaptic serotonin. Drugs that are know to stimulate high levels of serotonin are: MAOIs, TCAs, SSRIs, SNRIs, Bupropion, Tramadol, Fentany, Oxycodone, Hydrocodone, MDMA, MDA, Amphetamine, Sibutramine, Crack, Triptans, LSD, Panax Ginseg, Nutmed, Yohimbe, Syrian Rue, Ritonavir, Granisetron, Olanzapine, Valproate, Buspirone, Lithium, Linezolid, Dextromethorphan, Risperidone, Trypthophan, L-Dopa, Valproate, Pep pill. For the reason that serotonin syndrome it's not tested in the laboratory for diagnosis, signs tend to be the one that need seen. The greatest set of criteria to use to diagnose serotonin toxicity is Hunter Serotonin Toxicity Criteria.

Treatment for serotonin syndrome tend to be because follows: discontinuing drugs that created the overdose posible and drugs which can contribute administration of serotonin antagonist (eg. cyproheptadine) for sever cases of toxicity for agitation, muscular tissue stiffness and capture like movements, benzodiazepines (Valium, Ativan) Intra venous fluids Considering that serotonin syndrome is certainly not all to easy to diagnose, prevention is required for any kind of serotonin drugs combination which may lead to serotonin toxicity.
