10 Serotonin Syndrome Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #2: Agitation and Restlessness
As mentioned, serotonin is one of the four main neurotransmitters in the human body. Even though most of the serotonin is produced from the gastrointestinal system, it plays an important role in the human brain and the central nervous system. In cases of high serotonin levels due to a change in the dosage of medications used, neurological symptoms like agitation and restlessness will become noticeable.
Usually, the signs and symptoms of serotonin syndrome start within the first 6 hours after the initial use of the medication, a change in the dosage used so far, or because of an overdose.
