Serotonin syndrome

Serotonin syndrome is a complex of signs (symptoms) caused by an accumulation of the tissue hormone and neurotransmitter serotonin or serotonin-like substances in parts of the body. Autonomic, neuromotor and cognitive disturbances as well as behavioural changes are characteristic of this syndrome. It includes symptoms such as changes in mental state, restlessness, rapid involuntary muscle twitches, increased reflexes, sweating, increase in body temperature, chills and tremors. Serotonin syndrome is often a consequence of an interaction between different drugs leading to an increase in serotonin activity, and can be observed especially with a combined use of serotonergic drugs with MAO inhibitors. Overdose and/or mixed use of various psychoactive substances (such as MDMA, cocaine, amphetamine, etc.) can also trigger serotonin syndrome.
