Transient Serotonin Syndrome Caused by Concurrent Use of Tramadol and Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor

Abstract

Most physicians are aware of serotonin syndrome secondary to antidepressants but do not think about other classes of medications such as analgesics. Clinicians should also be aware of the possibility of serotonin syndrome when encountering a patient taking serotonergic drugs who presents with characteristic symptoms of serotonin syndrome.
