In reply to serotonin syndrome: treatment, posted by Chairman_MAO on February 21, 2007, at 5:38:55


I thought my doctor told me there is no reliable treatment for seratonin syndrome, that all they can do is try to stabilize one's vital signs in the hospital and basically wait it out? It's a teaching hospital he's with, too- so they tend to be up on treatments.


> Cyproheptadine is not reliable in the treatment of severe serotonin syndrome. The best thing to carry around would be good ol' chlorpromazine (Thorazine, Largactil). Not only does it have a proven track record of treating serotonin syndrome, it can also be used to lower blood pressure in case of a hypertensive crisis.
