Yes I had serotonin syndrome from one 10mg lexapro pill. I took it in 2006 and it is now 2011 and I still have all the symptoms you described. It is possible to have serotonin syndrome and not be in an ER..... the symptoms are more like "due to serotonin syndrome" than being it itself but this might be a definitive issue of placing a title on the actual nerve damage caused by the ssri. But this did happen to me specifically due to the lexapro. I am surprised that I never committed suicide, the akathisia is horrible, even years later. I still have weird attacks. wdtony@hotmail.com
