serotonin toxicity

Serotonin toxicity, often called serotonin syndrome, occurs when there is too much serotonin, a key chemical in the brain that regulates mood and other functions. This can happen due to certain medications, particularly when taken together, or from illegal drugs. Symptoms can range from mild (shivering, rapid heart rate) to severe (confusion, muscle rigidity, high fever). It's important to recognize these symptoms quickly, as serotonin toxicity can be serious and requires immediate medical attention to restore balance and prevent complications.
