Went 3 days with mild serotonin syndrome from mixing 2 meds. my dr told me to only quit 1 med and keep the snri. should i continue? still pretty sick.

I am uncertain: as to how long ago you discontinued the first medication however you should feel better by 7 days after you quit....if it has been longer you need to contact your Dr again (without knowing what the medications were it's impossible to be more precise) Hope you feel better soon Hope this helps!
