What Is Serotonin Syndrome?
8. Prevention
Avoiding taking more than one medication that increases serotonin levels is a sure way to prevent serotonin syndrome from occurring. This is not always practical, however, as the patient will sometimes be in need of certain medication. The decision will need to be made sometimes that the necessity of the medication outweighs the risks of using them.
If you have any history of reactions to medication then let your doctor know. Also, make sure other doctors know of any medication you are already using. If you do suspect you are having a reaction then you should let your doctor know straight away.
