[Article in Polish]
Loza
B.
Katedra i Klinika Psychiatrii AM w Lublinie.
A
minority of patients treated with serotonergic agents develop a
fulminant and potentially life-threatening illness characterized by
changes in mental status, restlessness, myoclonus, hyperreflexia,
tremor, shivering, incoordination, hyperthermia, diaphoresis and
diarrhea. This condition of serotonergic hyperstimulation is called the
"serotonin syndrome". The author describes an adverse response in a
patient given fluoxetine and lithium. A 61-year-old woman presented to
casualty exhibits nearly all of the diagnostic criteria proposed by
Sternbach [17].
