Serotonin Syndrome on a Low Dose SSRI and an Atypical Antipsychotic Agent in a Patient with Cirrhosis of Liver

Authors: Sharma Trishna MD, and Persaud Hemraj Anand MD

Abstract: Serotonin syndrome (SS) is a life-threatening condition that develops in a short span of time. It is clinically diagnosed and supportively managed. Severe clinical manifestation is sometimes treated with cyproheptadine to suppress the serotonin surge. Although it resolves spontaneously, the potential to take a fatal course and preventable adverse reaction are important reasons to recognize SS.
