I was in ER the other day, and got two (very small, she didn't say how many mg, but they were definitely under 10mg apiece) shots of morphine. I was then told that was all the morphine I was allowed, but I could be given demerol.
I didn't know how much was in there, and had said earlier I didn't want it because I heard it had bad interactions with SSRIs, but hurting and wanting more opiates, and because I'd skipped my Celexa for a day now, I asked for it (later to find out it was only a 15mg ampoule, which is practically nothing, and I know it wasn't 150mg because I would've been knocked out by that + even the tiniest morphine).
I felt like crap, not immediately (I was given a percocet, still not sure if it was 5/500 or 2.5/500, it was blue like a 5, but oblong like a 2.5, and I doubt it was a 7.5 or 10, both because of subjective feelings, but mostly judging from the doses they gave me of everything else), but the next morning, I felt distinct serotonin-like symptoms of confusion, stumbling around, brightened colors and 'flashes' along with those blue spots you see. Not enough for a definite positive, but still... and this was only on 15mg (which a narcotic converter tells me = 2mg IV morphine).
This should probably be moved to drug culture, but I was interested in some of your guys take on it, and whether or not the potential for interaction between SSRIs + demerol is overstated in journal articles...
