Serotonin Syndrome: Fairly Common but Frequently Forgotten

Abstract

The authors presented a case of serotonin syndrome cause by drug interaction. The patient is presented with classical features of the syndrome with hyper-excitability, tremor, change in mental status, and low grade fever. The patient made uneventful recovery after the stoppage of the offending drugs. This case calls for the clinicians to be vigilant of the drug interaction that can cause unintended side effects to the patient under their care.
