"And does this mean that I might have this seratonin syndrome that can be fatal?"
No, that danger has already passed and gone, you are on the other side. Though you may be sensitive to other meds that act on the 5-HT terminals [Maybe someone else can put this in laymen's terms?].
I believe I found this info on Medscape, I'll try to get the exact link and post after dinner. I wanted to reassure you that what you are experiencing could be an ecstasy-potentiated panic attacks and paranoia, along with the physical sensations that accompany that.
You are not going to die but you may feel these sensations for awhile and the Ativan probably helped relieve these symptoms. I know it's hard to believe that what you're feeling isn't actually going to harm you but it's true. I have had panic attacks most of my life, I used to think I had a bad heart because it hurt so often. Fortunately for me, my heart is not bad just my nerves. So keep hanging on, we're all still here. And I will try to find where that info is located. Take care.
