What Is Serotonin Syndrome?
3. Causes
Serotonin syndrome can be caused by combining certain migraine medications with antidepressants. Opioids combined with antidepressants can also result in some unwelcome results. Some of the drugs that can cause the condition can even be purchased over the counter without a prescription.
Some of the antidepressants responsible are used to help people to quit smoking. Some dietary supplements can contribute to the problem, and taking certain recreational drugs like amphetamines, cocaine, ecstasy, and LSD can cause it. It is always wise to seek medical advice if you are planning on using any combination of drugs at some point in the future.
