Symptoms of this potentially dangerous syndrome range from minimal in patients starting selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) to fatal in those combining monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) with serotonergic agents. This article presents the latest evidence on how to: • reduce the risk of serotonin syndrome • recognize its symptoms • and treat patients with mild to life- threatening symptoms. WHAT IS SEROTONIN SYNDROME? Serotonin syndrome is characterized by changes in autonomic, neuromotor, and cognitive-behav- ioral function (Table 1) triggered by increased serotonergic stimulation. It typically results from pharmacodynamic and/or pharmacokinetic in- teractions between drugs that increase serotonin activity.1,2 continued VOL. 2, NO. 5 / MAY 2003 15 Serotonin Table 1 activity or reduced ability to How to recognize serotonin syndrome secrete endothelium-derived nitric oxide may diminish the System Clinical signs and symptoms ability to metabolize serotonin.2 Autonomic Diaphoresis, hyperthermia, hypertension, tachycardia, pupillary dilatation, nausea, POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS diarrhea, shivering COMBINATIONS Neuromotor Hyperreflexia, myoclonus, restlessness, MAOIs.
