Anyone Heard From Their Providers About Serotonin Syndrome??? I'd Advise Asking, After You Do Some Online Research About Your Meds And SS
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭

My conditions are P/D, Seizure condition, and Serotonin Syndrome. More than half of what I thought were P/D symptoms are written about by Mayo and the Cleveland Clinic as symptoms of Serotonin Syndrome. My new P/D RNA assures me that there are Only FOUR recognized P/D symptoms

My Hallucinations Started About 8 Yrs In. They Were Never Threatening To Me Nor Even Bothered Me Much.
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭

I haven’t told the doctor yet. Has anyone else had the same experience?

A MyParkinsonsTeam Member
