I'm DEFINITELY not a doc, so excuse the huge gaps in my knowledge. Anyway, SS occurs when your brain is flooded with serotonin it can't handle. I think the symptoms are flu like in some cases, and more like neuroleptic mallgnancy syndrome in others. So there's fever, sometimes spasms. If it gets treated ear;y, its not that...hospital stay for a day or two. Untreated...you die. I think its b/c your core temp goes up, but I'm not sure. SS is the reason for the MAOI "washout".
