What is seritonin syndrome? I was diagnosed about three months ago and I don't know much regarding the medications only what I read in the drug pamphlets. Know of any good websites or resources that would help? Another question completely off the subject, is a Pdoc a psychiatric doctor?
Thanks for the help.
