Been taking celexa (citalopram) and tramadol together for over a year. do i still need to watch for serotonin syndrome?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Serotonin Syndrome: Serotonin syndrome is rare. It can occur with changes of medications doses, or with administration of a new drug which increase the level of the other medications by affecting the metabolic pathways, elimination rate, protein binding, or other pharmacological interaction. Consult with your doctor before taking any new medication or over the counter drugs.
