In reply to Serotonin receptors may be damaged-help, posted by disney4 on May 2, 2003, at 10:39:52
> About 3 years ago a suffered from serotonin syndrome. I had taken Luvox and tegretol and they increased each others effects to a toxic level. I am already med sensitive, so I suufered an acute reaction. I could not unclench my jaw, my body was jerking and I had terrible chills. My Dr took me off those meds and put me on Klonopin for support. I am now on Neurontin and klonopin, plus some natural things like fish oil, but I am still having problems at night. My muscles feel tense and I have a lot of anxiety. I can fall asleep with the medication, but it takes a while and is a restless sleep many nights. I wonder if there is a way to correct any damage done to my serotonin receptors. Does anyone know?
I doubt a single case of serotonin syndrome would cause any long-term damage to the receptors... but it's possible I suppose
