Serotonin syndrome help

[Cubdeer1468]

Just to update everyone. I'm pretty sure I'm just having bad anxiety. Then I went 48 hours without anything so I was in full blown withdrawal. I've now taken two doses of my oxy spaced 5 hours apart. I feel better but still kind of weird but I'm pretty sure it's from the roller coaster of the last 3 days and not eating much. I'm sure I will be back to normal in a few days. I'm definitely done with aswaganda and tramadol. Tossed the supplements. I think kratom might still be ok but we will see. I might be too freaked out to use it again unless I lose my oxy. I just have horrible anxiety but I really appreciate everyone on here. Now that I'm not in full blown panic I did find a study from Australia that said oxy was one of the least likely to contribute to serotonin syndrome, obviously tramadol one of the highest. Tramadol seems like a bad medicine to me, high risk, little benefit. Link to article for anyone interested. Thanks again everyone.

I made a post about that prior? Don’t remember but I do be on benzos sometimes

I’m a person that can recite the pharmacological profile of any recreational drug by heart and also thus can easily guess know which to not mix based on similarities or contradictions in their overlap.

I’m also a drug addict that swallows pills like pac man and is too stoned to even stop and think about what I’m taking sometimes. I made a mistake and mixed some drugs and has a bad experience. Wondering if it was serotonin syndrome.

I am tapering off of duloxetine and been taking 20 mg about 2X a week to ward off withdrawal. The night of the incidence I took the drugs as listed below...

Yeah man sometimes it goes against harm reduction. But sometimes you have to challenge how you feel to know that's it real. Alot of drugs can make you believe stuff that is not true. Safety should be priority #1 though.

Ah i remember that one now it wasn’t that long ago. Finally taking a benzo solved the problem so I guess it wasn’t SS.

I’ve had so many of these type of incidents over the last 20 years mainly from dissociative RCs and stimulants.

Hey OP I'm sorry to hear you're worrying about this stuff. I know it can be pretty scary, as Serotonin Syndrome is a severe, often life-threatening condition.

I'm going to tell you from a guy on the internet's opinion, I find it unlikely that you're experiencing Serotonin Syndrome given your description of your current drug usage. Serotonin Syndrome can happen at seemingly random points to different people. In general, if we're talking about substance-induced Serotonin Syndrome, it's generally gonna occur in folks taking multiple medications in moderate-high dosages or otherwise just a very high number of different medications.

Opioids are not known for their effects on Serotonin. Neurotransmission is a complex process with many variables. However, it's my understanding that the primary neurotransmitter at play here would be Dopamine. It is likely that other neurotransmitters might be released as a secondary effect, being that this is a psychoactive drug, however, Serotonin is not a major player here.

You mentioned you have anxiety. This can convince people of a lot of different fears and possibilities. I find what's most helpful in these situations is to get some more objective information. Do some research of your own. Listen to what the smart people have to say. I think when you read some case studies and see the common causes therein, you'll realize that your situation is unlikely to produce Serotonin Syndrome. I'm not saying it can't, just that it's unlikely.

For the record, Serotonin Syndrome as I've read and heard it described by many survivors and doctors, is not something that a person typically questions when it's happening. In general, it seems to be an extremely distressing, painful and disorienting process on par with something like a heart attack. It's not something so mild that you can sit and question it for hours, check in on Bluelight and be okay.

Continue to monitor the situation and if shit gets extreme call 911 before consulting us. Just to be real, the time it will take for us to answer could lead to serious injury or death.
