In reply to Serotonin Syndrome?, posted by Zombified on September 23, 2001, at 23:27:25
> I may feel fine now. However, when I talk to people outside of my home, I suffer confusion, increased heartrate, severe nervousness, shaking, nausea, and mild fever. When I think of something to do with the outside world, it brings on the these conditions. When ANYONE stresses me out, I suffer the SAME conditions. Could this be a form of serotonin syndrome?

I doubt it-your doses are pretty low. It sounds like panic anxiety to me. You should relay this to your doctor-maybe you need to be taking a benzo instead of one of your current meds (or in addition). Klonopin sounds like a good choice.
