Serotonin syndrome


Never look up the drug interactions for stuff you're taking. It just leads to paranoia. Apparently, lithium and Celexa together can increase your risk for serotonin syndrome. What the hell is that? You say. It sounds awful, and can kill you, but it's basically just overdose. So how do you avoid it? Keep those levels of lithium in check and monitor your symptoms.

I'm not going to check out the interactions between Celexa and anything else. I have a feeling I shouldn't be taking stuff like Benedryl, but I do love Benedryl. It's the only thing that keeps me sane in the spring. I'll just have to watch for signs of something ominous.
