Venlafaxine-induced
serotonin syndrome with relapse following
amitriptyline.
Perry NK.
Department of
Medicine for the Elderly, Poole Hospital NHS Trust, Longfleet Road,
Poole, Dorset BH15 2JB, UK.
A case of venlafaxine-induced
serotonin syndrome is described with relapse following the introduction
of amitriptyline, despite a 2-week period between the discontinuation of
one drug and the commencement of the other. Electroencephalography may
play an important part in diagnosis. With the increasing use of
selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors, greater awareness of the
serotonin syndrome is necessary. Furthermore, the potential for drug
interactions which may lead to the syndrome needs to be
recognised.
