What is serotonin syndrome?

i have never heard of that, but listen up, be positive, dont be negative, i am going to a physichiatrist and he told me we have to get the serotonin level back to normal in the brain so now im taking 200 mg of zoloft a day, because he said we are going to speed it up. so what i think that means is that could take time, but i seriously doubt whatever you said above will happen. good luck

I just often get nervous....I hear about the subject then concern myself with the subject and tend to obsess. Thanks so very much for responding!

Soar, I'd say, don't worry about it. I too have read abuot it quite a lot, but when it comes down to it, it's not something you need to concern yourself with. It's your own anxiety making you think so much about it.

I mean, here I am, at 4:45 in the morning, not being able to sleep because my heart is beating too fast. I keep thinking I'm going to die because my heart beats faster in the morning, so i psyche myself up for it every night and then i wake up early out of fear. Pathetic, isn't it?
