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

I can’t take it either I get serotonin syndrome therefore I can’t take antidepressants I’m just taking 50 mg if seroquel and I hate it but can’t stop taking it because I can’t sleep. I hope you feel better soon
