Serotonin syndrome in withdrawal possible?

One day I started to feel like I was drunk but in a way I didn´t enjoy, the pulse was very high and pounding, an extreme restlessness and fever among other things.
Then I discoverd that I had been taking a lower dose of Paxil for some time.
As far as I can tell I had some degree of serotonin syndrome and now I'm a bit worried.
What will happen if I am out in the wilderness and my  medicition will get lost - can I die of a heartatack (no heartcondition) or have permanent braindamage or something if I'm without it for to long?
I also take amphetamine for AD/HD and Mirtazapine for sleep.

I would think that Serotonin syndrome would be a consideration if you were taking MORE of the paxil then prescribed, not less.  
I would agree with above that you are on 'quite a cocktail of drugs' and you might want to have your doc reexamine things for you given your current symptoms.
good luck
