"...perhaps you had something like a noradrenergic crisis. Did you have a fast heartbeat and headache?"Yes, I also had a bad headache and a fast heartbeat. Except for the mental euphoria (everything was funny) and the blurred vision, it physically felt like a bad flu -- shivering, aching, fever, headache. I'd read flu-like symptoms are possible with ADs, but never dreamed it could happen so fast or so severe.
I found a couple of anecdotal reports saying dopamine agonists plus ADs can cause serotonin syndrome. However I can't find any research paper on Medline mentioning that.
I think I'll re-try Serzone, starting at a very low level.
Thanks for the comments.
