also i wanted to know what does SS feel like?
Once i ate like a handful of pillz in a night and they were a bit on the speedy side. So after i was done rollin, i decieded to take a seroquel (that sleepin pill). Well about an hour later my head felt really weird. Like burning on my frontal lobes along with slight pressure. It wasnt "horrible" but it was rather unsettling. Had me a little worried because in my years of rollin i've never encountered that. Also i felt "wobbly" for a good week afterwards. First two days sucked ballz but then it started goin away. I'd stand up and lose my balence almost. Think i spent a good 2 days in bed doing nuttin but drinkin water. My piss was a dark orange color. (Severe Dehydration) But i was always drinkin water. Even thru recovery mode.
I figured the mix of MDMA/ amp/ and seroquel that it might have caused seritonin syndrome.
I dunno... weird lol

SS can start in a short period of time (probably much quicker than people think) - heres a bit of information on the subject. In its classic form, serotonin syndrome involves three categories of symptoms:
¶Cognitive-behavioral symptoms like confusion, disorientation, agitation, irritability, unresponsiveness and anxiety.
¶Neuromuscular symptoms like muscle spasms, exaggerated reflexes, muscular rigidity, tremors, loss of coordination and shivering.
¶Autonomic nervous system symptoms like fever, profuse sweating, rapid heart rate, raised blood pressure and dilated pupils.
Widespread ignorance of the syndrome is another diagnostic impediment. But even when doctors know about it, the strict diagnostic criteria may rule out “what are now recognized as mild, early or subacute stages of the disorder,” Dr. Boyer and Dr. Shannon wrote.
Perhaps adding to the diagnostic challenge is the fact that a huge number of drugs — prescription, over the counter, recreational and herbal — can trigger the syndrome. In addition to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors like Zoloft, Prozac and Paxil and serotonin/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors like Effexor, the list includes tricyclic antidepressants and MAOIs (for monoamine oxidase inhibitors); narcotic painkillers like fentanyl and tramadol; over-the-counter cough and cold remedies containing dextromethorphan; the anticonvulsant valproate; triptans like Imitrex used to treat and prevent migraines; the antibiotic Zyvox (linezolide); antinausea drugs; the anti-Parkinson’s drug L-dopa; the weight-loss drug Meridia (sibutramine); lithium; the dietary supplements tryptophan, St. John’s wort and ginseng; and several drugs of abuse, including ecstasy, LSD, amphetamines, the hallucinogens foxy methoxy and Syrian rue.
Although serotonin poisoning can be caused by an antidepressant overdose, it more often results from a combination of an S.S.R.I. or MAOI with another serotonin-raising substance. Patients at particular risk, some experts say, are those taking combinations of antidepressant and antipsychotic drugs sometimes prescribed to treat resistant depression. All it may take is a small dose of another serotonin-inducing drug to cause the syndrome.
Brain Zaps are a common complaint when people are reported SS - but they normally subside when you take a break.
