Is serotonin syndrome The opposite of PSSD ?
Or at least on the same spectrum? Hear me out it’s worth looking into since im the only case I know like this.
Long story short I got classic PSSD almost two years ago from SSRIs and have been off since. October of last year I got full blown serotonin syndrome by taking dextromathorphan with my seroquel (yes it’s possible, was diagnosed) Ever since then I get mini mild episodes of serotonin toxicity (It’s the same symptoms and I don’t want to hear people arguing “that can’t happen” there’s a whole support group on Facebook who suffer from reoccurring SS even from the wrong food ) I have both and they both are triggered by the same thing including infection / illness. I either crash and feel nothing or I get hypo manic and end up in the ER.
The SS may not be life threatening every single time but it seems to be an injury like PSSD that acts up when anything serotonergic enters my system.
I wonder if my SERT is still inhibited even though the SSRIs are long out my system and that’s how I got serotonin syndrome so easily ?
I don’t know , thoughts ?
