Shellie,
If I were you, I would keep taking Nardil and just discontinue the Serzone. This is assuming that none of your side effects were present prior to adding Serzone. It is desirable to try to keep the level of MAO inhibition that is therapeutically effective for you. Levels of Serzone should drop quickly.
Just a thought...

> Hi Scott, thanks. It never even crossed my mind that this could be serotonin syndrome. I've read what you've sent me, and looked on some other internet sites, and I'm not sure. My temperature IS up, my muscles ache (but I don't know if they are rigid--not sure exactly what that means), my bp has been down, which I did attribute to the serzone. No sweating. Also I have no mental impairment, or confusion or hypomanic symptoms, so I just don't know. I already have a call in to my pdoc for tomorrow--she left her office early and I didn't think it was something that couldn't wait until tomorrow morning so I didn't page her. I didn't take my nardil this afternoon and won't today. I will probably discontinue the serzone.
