Serotonin syndrome induced by
transitioning from phenelzine to venlafaxine: four patient
reports.
Diamond S, Pepper BJ, Diamond ML, Freitag

Diamond Headache Clinic, Chicago,
IL 60614-1726, USA.
With the use of the newer antidepressants
beyond the traditional tricyclics and monoamine oxidase inhibitors,
newer options in headache prophylaxis are provided as well as the
potential for undesirable and even potentially life-threatening
interactions between medications. In this article, four patient reports
of a specific interaction--the serotonin syndrome--are presented. These
events resulted from transitioning headache patients from an older
antidepressant (phenelzine) to a newer antidepressant
(venlafaxine).
