Fluoxetine and the
serotonin syndrome.
Ruiz F.
Division of
Emergency Medicine, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta,
Georgia.
A 48-year-old man presented to the emergency department
with confusion, agitation, diaphoresis, and muscle rigidity after
beginning treatment with fluoxetine, a serotonin reuptake inhibitor. He
had discontinued treatment with tranylcypromine, a monoamine oxidase
inhibitor, 2 weeks earlier. The constellation of findings was diagnostic
of the serotonin syndrome.
