I thought serotonin syndrome was when we had been taking too much serotonin. Am I wrong?

Yes, I have. I had been on Cymbalta 120 mg which is a very high dosage, but it was winderful for my fibromyalgia. I was also on sleep meds like Ambien, Klonopin and Zanzflex. My docs here think that when I had a neck blocjk the steriolds oin it made the Serotonin Syndrome Happen. Sorry about the spelling, as I cant get the backsoace to work and my brain is still in a mess....only beemn 5 weeks since diagnoisis and complete change of meds!

I have experienced this and thought I was the only one and no one believed me not even my Doctor until I ended up in ER I take 50 mg seroquel which isn’t an antidepressant but if I try to take any antidepressants I experience this syndrome therefore I can’t take anything for depression. I don’t know what to do but it’s real I hope you are ok

I tried taking Cymbalta several times I end up having serotonin syndrome and any antidepressant does it to me. I thought I was the only one until reading all these comments. I hope you’re feeling better
