Is it possible to have to much serotonin in your system? If so what would the reaction be?

Question:

Answers:
Usually, people who get "serotonin syndrome" from having too much serotonin in their system are taking 2-3 different SSRI type antidepressants *and also* using supplements in their diet too to boost their 5-HTP levels, but.yeah, it happens..

Mild version: light fever, nasty headache, sleeplessness, nausea.

Nasty version: Fever, blinding headache, vomiting, diarrhea, spasms, seizures, losing consciousness and/or becoming delirious.

It's no joke, which is why you want to keep your doctor and/or counselor informed about *everything* right down to the last aspirin, that you put in your body when on SSRIs..
