Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Serotonin syndrome is a potential side effect of some psychotropic medications in common use today. With over 8000 adverse events related to this condition in 2004 alone, this risk warrants further attention. The deployed environment presents a unique set of stressors and risks involved in treatment with any psychotherapeutic agent. The following case illustrates one incidence of rapid titration of a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) (fluoxetine) contributing to the emergence of serotonin syndrome. |
