Can anyone clearly explain or post a link to what exactly the symptoms of serotonin syndrome are ? I've been searching all the forums but yet to find anything understandable and even wikipedia is very vague about it.
I think i may have had it on one occasion after a long binge on a combination of substances; the only way i can describe it is that it felt like the top part of my head was swirling and spinning in vivid colours at a hundred miles an hour in one direction, while the bottom half was doing the same but in the opposite direction. Is that just what they call being twisted, was i just fucked or could it have been serotonin syndrome ?
This is what caused it.
I was snorting and then smoking mdpv continually for a couple of days. Throwing in some MDAI and a smoke of spice evry now and then for good measure. Then i decided it was time to bring this down and get some sleep so i had a coule of glasses of red wine to start taking the stimulant edge off a bit. I had 2 etizolams ready too as an effective knock out dose, i knew they would hit me within half an hour or so, as i had eaten very little over the last 48 hrs. I decided to add one last thing to the mix before bed; some Haze which i had just aquired, synthetic cannaboids blended with Damiania. I had just 3 small pinches (i now know this was a stupidly large first time dose as the stuff is extremely potent) of this in a small spliff with some tobacco; but Jesus Christ it knocked me for six within a few seconds. Collapsed on the couch, moaning and rushing all over my body (never had huge rushes like that before), felt like fireworks going off in my head, along with the multidirectional swirling. I have no idea if it was just the Haze doing this, or a combination of everything i had taken potentiating everything else. This was over the edge of being too intense to cope with, felt like it could be trippy, once my head cleared abit, if it was going to, and i wasnt sure if my mind was in the right place to cope with anything trippy, after such a long PV binge. . Thankgod i had already taken the etizolams, and was fortuitously starting to feel my mind calm right down after a mercyfully short time in this state. I think this may have been a long nightmarish experience otherwise. Just made it to bed, crashed face down on top of the covers without taking my shoes off as you do when totally fucked. Fell asleep immediately for 12 hours solid.
I'm guessing it was the mdai in the combo that might have caused the seretonin syndrome, if that is what it was.
I have since learned you have to be careful adding this stuff to combos, and will be trying to research more before adding it to new combos in the future.
Any thoughts, anyone ?
