Serotonin syndrome and the use of
SSRIs.

Nurses need to become more aware of
serotonin syndrome to avoid its development and to ensure a therapeutic
response when early symptoms emerge. While polypharmacy tends to put
individuals at greatest risk for the syndrome, use of a single
serotonergic agent may also provoke an adverse response. Because the
onset and progression of serotonin syndrome are rapid, prompt action may
be needed to avoid potentially life-threatening
consequences.
