Anyone had serotonin syndrome? What causes it? How to prevent it?

I was thinking the same thing. Your medicines.

You mean because of Seroquel XR or Zoloft ?
But even without medicine this condition or feeling in my tongue is happening even more than when taking the medications.... Thats why i want to take Periactin.... Can the Periactin help me to solve this problem ? Does anyone suffered the same condition that i have.... Which is a weird feeling in the tounge that makes you just talk for long periods of time and not able to do anything else but talking ? If anyone had this problem And found a solution to it just reply.... And thanks in advance

?? Don’t know. Hoe you get well soon.

My problem now is that I have a weird feeling in my tongue that makes me talk for 8-10 hours a day, sometimes more and sometimes less.... I mean, I like to watch tennis and play games on my laptop, but when I get this feeling in my tongue, and the tennis match starts, I miss the match and go to talk for 7- 8 hours and the match is over and I don't see it....and i like to play video games on a laptop and this feeling comes to me, I turn off the game and turn off the laptop and go to talk for 7-8 hours, then play....I think maybe I have serotonin syndrome maybe not....i am not soo sure, because this is the only reasonable diagnosis to this condition i have but maybe it's very mild Maybe it's not severe, maybe it happened to me because of the pills for depression that I took for 12 years that prevent the re-absorption of serotonin, such as Zoloft, Effexor, Seroxat, Faverin, Cibralex, and Abilify. I mean, all kinds of pills I took.... So I read on the Internet that there are medications that treat serotonin syndrome. Or prevents the secretion of serotonin, so it decreases in the body.... And these pills are 4 types
- Methysergide (Deseril) (Sansert)
- Methylergometrine or Methylergonovine (Methergine)
- Cyproheptadine (Periactin)
- Pizotifen or Pizotyline (Sandomigran)
The first name is the scientific name and in brackets the trade name
These pills and their function inhibit the secretion of serotonin, so it decreases in the body, and for those who reduce it, I think the feeling of the tongue will decrease, which makes me talk 10-12 hours a day....but I wanted to know which is the best kind of these 4 pills that prevent the secretion of serotonin, the best efficacy and the least side effects I can take..... I am currently taking Seroquel XR, which one of these 4 conflicts with Seroquel XR or not?
Sorry for taking so long, but I wanted to explain my case in detail so that anyone can help me....I am waiting for a response from you....Thank you in advance and sorry for the inconvenience

@ahmed999888, your situation needs that attention of a medical professional to assess properly what is going on. I strongly encourage you to speak with your prescribing doctor to evaluate the medications you are taking and the symptoms you are experiencing.

Well... I consulted my prescribing doctor.... He says that this is part of my condition and part of my OCD which i don't have.... I think it's bullshit what doctors say about this condition and all the doctors are saying the same thing but they are all Arab.... When i talked to american doctor in newyork via WhatsApp he said that this weird feeling in my tongue is because of different antidepressant and psychosis medications i took.... And this makes sense what he said unlike the other Arab Doctors i consulted who didn't help me much regarding this condition i have

I'm sorry that you are not getting the answers you're seeking locally. I hope that you can reconcile the medications you are taking to resolve the issue in consultation with your doctors locally and in the US.

Do you know any good online psychiatrist i can contact with ?

Virtual appointments may be available. I'm not sure. It's worth asking.

In my study of this, its the combination of certain drugs. These that you've listed do not sound like any that are involved when taken together. You can do more research at looking up serotonin syndrome on the internet. Even the reference lit that came with my meds said to beware of this syndrome.
