over the course of four days i ingested multiple substances, and on the fourth day, i experienced something that closely resembled serotonin syndrome.
day 1: 100mg 5-htp/60mg adderall
day 2: 100mg 5-htp/20mg adderall
day 3: 100mg 5-htp/1 pill ecstasy/2 bowls weed
day 4: 100mg 5-htp/600mg dxm (robitussin cough gels)/2 bowls weed
the alleged serotonin syndrome began a few hours into the dxm trip. i've had prior experience with dxm and the symptoms that i experienced were distinct from those of the trip itself. i had extreme anxiety, an elevated temperature, feelings of influenza and confusion, visual disturbances, some muscle twitching, and a warm but extremely unpleasant pulsing/pressurized sensation running throughout my head, especially near the back of my neck. it's difficult to describe what i felt, but at the time, i was convinced that something horrible was happening. i had begun googling serotonin syndrome and was considering my options. luckily, however, i was able to fall asleep. i woke up the next morning feeling substantially better, but still feeling most of same symptoms, although they were much milder than they were the night before. throughout the course of the day, the symptoms slowly let up. when i awoke on the following morning, i felt fantastic, and had an excellent day. i decided to go out drinking that night (and took my fish oil supplements at night) and everything was fine, until i woke up the next morning with a high fever and extremely high anxiety. the symptoms that i experienced throughout that day and the next were comparable to those of a migraine. at this point, i am feeling much better, but i still have a few questions. it's been nearly a week since the initial incident, and i'm wondering if a.) it's safe to start taking my fish oil supplements again, and b.) if it's safe to consume alcohol. i'm not sure if what i had was actually serotonin syndrome, but if it was, is some sort of relapse possible, if i'm not careful? i understand how irresponsible this all was, and i still can't believe how absentmindedly i mixed these serotonergic substances. any suggestions would be much appreciated.
