The most common symptoms of serotonin syndrome include: restlessness, confusion, agitation, feeling overheated or excessive sweating, euphoria, racing heartbeat, headache (related to rise in blood pressure), confusion and concentration problems, shakiness, difficulty with reflexes, excessive salivation, rapid contraction and relaxation of the ankle muscle causing abnormal movements of the foot or jaw, clumsiness, feeling intoxicated or dizzy, sweating, muscle twitching, rigidity, loosening of bowels or diarrhea. (Serotonin syndrome is difficult to distinguish from a syndrome called neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) due to a similarity in symptoms and signs.) If you experience any of these symptoms discontinue all non-essential medications, herbs, hormones, or supplements and contact your physician. Eat a high protein meal and allow yourself some physical activity (e.g. taking a walk) followed by rest as soon as you are able.
