from 2017-12-25T17:31:54

:: ::

Most of us carry and commonly administer medications that affect the neurotransmitter serotonin (e.g. Fentanyl). Additionally, most of our patients with a history of depression and/or anxiety are prescribed selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI's). In this episode, we discuss Serotonin Syndrome: a dangerous condition precipitated by the combined use of these commonly administered serotonergic drugs. Tune in as we discuss various drug combinations, the mechanism driving the resulting signs/symptoms, and the treatment course we should take to reverse these adverse effects.
