What Are The Withdrawal Symptoms Of Serotonin?

Posted on Tue, 15 Dec 2015

Question: My 16 year old daughter started taking Celexa 2 months ago. Nov. 6 she had knee surgery and was given Percoset Tylenol 3 and gabupentin for pain. 2 days ago she went in an ambulance because her whole body was convulsing, she had severe headache and was vomiting. The Childrens Hospital sent her home and said she just had a virus. I thought it was withdrawal from her pain meds but now I wonder if it was serotonin syndrome ? She has muscle jerks constantly now. What should i do
