Serotonin Toxicity
by Bryce110, Feb 26, 2008 08:32AM
Hi, about 5 days ago I decided to take at total of 60mg's one 30mg at 9 in the morning and another at 5 in the evening, of Adderall XR along with 75mg of Effexor XR. I was prescribed the Effexor. About 5 minutes after I took my second capsule of Adderall I started feeling really weird, I thought I was losing my mind. My mind was racing with thoughts, I couldn't concentrate, Muscle spasm's, and fast heart-rate. It feels like everything is going very fast. I couldn't watch TV because I had no idea what they were talking about. The next day I took no more adderall, and still experienced the same symptoms, so the day after that I decided to stop taking my Effexor as well, fearing possible Serotonin toxicity. Its been a little over 72 hours without the effexor and I cant see any relief of symptoms with the mental side of things. I no longer have the muscle spasms and fast hart rate but my mind still seems in a fog. What could this be caused by??
It seems like im able to comprehend whats going on with TV a little better, but maybe im just getting used to this? Im fearing any permanent damage.
