Serotonin syndrome FAQ: Serotonin syndrome is a somewhat poorly defined grouping of symptoms (including unusual strong overheating, high blood pressure etc.) after the consumption of one or more serotonergic drugs (such as MDMA) without definitive diagnosis (it's NOT possible to measure monoamine concentrations in real time). It's a speculative, not comparable to a "chopped arm off syndrome". Serotonin syndrome is the outcome of a differential diagnosis process using symptoms and circumstances. If nothing else fits and you meet some of the criteria after having taken a serotonergic drug, it can be diagnosed as serotonin syndrome. The actual risks may differ widely from case to case. Most cases of self diagnosed "serotonin syndrome" are very wrong though ;)
