Has anybody out there ever experienced this? It is hell, and I would love to here from anyone else who has gone through it so I know I am not alone.

If u are taking an ssri and then u take other meds. even over the counter cough meds, that affect your seratonin level and wow you get this total over load it is actually a quite serious and possibly deadly ordeal. I have been told that it does not happen to everyone but those that it does happen to it is more then miserable. I think anyone on ssri's should look it up and read about it. It took me years of my own research to find out what was happening to me whenever I was given to much of certain pain meds, but now that I know I do feel better just knowing is wonderful.

Have a great day
