Hello everyone, I have been lurking around on this site for some years now but have never made an account or post until now. I have been reading up on serotonin syndrome and the symptoms/causes.
I'm 21 years old now, and basically when I was around 16 years old or so I was on Zoloft for really bad tics, most like related to anxiety that I had (Not Tourette's). During this time I started experimenting with DXM, not knowing about the dangers of mixing these types of medications. I only tripped on DXM like 2, maybe 3 times while on Zoloft. And I don't ever remember having any bad problems aside from vomiting that a lot of people experience during the DXM come up. I took about 400-700mg during this period of time and tripped my balls off...I remember seeing dragons and literally flying over a field when I closed my eyes, it was amazing lol.
Fast forward 5 or so years to now. I haven't been on any meds until recently being put on fluvoxamine to try to combat anxiety that has progressively gotten worse...the first time I took this med I literally woke up an hour later with extreme nausea and acid reflux and proceeded to puke my guts out for around an hour. After that I was put on clomipramine and had the same exact result. I know both of these medications affect serotonin and I am paranoid thinking that 16 year old me fucked my brain chemistry somehow. The scary thing is that I was prescribed the lowest possible dose for these two meds and still had severe bouts of nausea.
I am currently seeing a psychiatrist, she is the one who prescribed those two meds to me. I am seeing her again tomorrow and I don't know if I should tell her about my experimenting with DXM (while on Zoloft) as a teenager because part of me feels like it could be responsible for some of the mental problems I am having now (bad OCD, anxiety, depression) as well as the bad reactions from the meds she is prescribing me.
I was hoping some more experienced members could give their two cents on the matter. Thank you all.
