Serotonin syndrome?

Can serotonin syndrome develop gradually and be mild vs just the short term acute serious descriptions I've read? I have unexplained neuro sx including clonus and hyperreflexia and have been taking 20 mg of celebs for over 5 yrs.  is this a possible cause?

Just the celexa and a birth control, so that is doubtful. Thanks!

Hello there!

Serotonin Syndrome is actually pretty rare.  People have gone overboard with the thinking about this.  Also,  it's not going to happen on a normal dose of one medication.  Also, SS usually IS very severe, and acute.  There can be milder cases of it, but it's almost always very severe and almost always a medical emergency.

What meds are you on?
