A member asked:
Hey, i would like to know whether i'm in risk of having serotonin syndrome, around 5 months ago i was prescribed escitalopram by my psychiatrist and have been taking it unknowingly then stopped around week and a half ago, although i took mdma a month?

Not feasible to predict your risk of "serotonin syndrome" in absence of full list of prescription and recreational drugs, with dosing amounts. Best to fully discuss with your psychiatrist, and make appropriate joint decisions.
