Venlafaxine-induced serotonin syndrome with relapse following amitriptyline.

Perry NK.

Department of Medicine for the Elderly, Poole Hospital NHS Trust, Longfleet Road, Poole, Dorset BH15 2JB, UK.

A case of venlafaxine-induced serotonin syndrome is described with relapse following the introduction of amitriptyline, despite a 2-week period between the discontinuation of one drug and the commencement of the other. Electroencephalography may play an important part in diagnosis. With the increasing use of selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors, greater awareness of the serotonin syndrome is necessary. Furthermore, the potential for drug interactions which may lead to the syndrome needs to be recognised.
