hi Angel1,
the serotonin reuptake inhibition begins less than an hour after ingestion.
if the serotonin syndrome's mechanism is going to be initiated, it shouldn't have to take any more pills than it does for lsd or psilocybin.
it defies reason that three individuals, unknown to each other (hence mass hysteria not possible), could suffer such strange "placebo" effects ...
... and not just because actual placebo effects are almost never adverse and usually benefical ...
but because it just challenges the imagination that one could maintain a psychedelic-like placebo effect, while suffering such terrifyingly adverse reactions ... absent a pharmacological etiology, such as serotonin syndrome ...
which is not to say that it's not impossible ...
... but i would estimate it as not even improbable for a neurologically susceptible group.unless, of course, i'm wrong ... and that's never impossible.
have you taken lexapro ?
take care,
~ jim
