A member asked:

I went to the dr today and was told i have seratonin syndrome. my heart rate still feels high. will this take time to lower?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Seratonin syndrome is typically a result of medication interactions, or high dosing of certain provocative pharmaceuticals. Once action is taken, stabilization should result within several days, depending upon half life of offending agents.
