Have you had a full neurological evaluation exam to differential diagnose?
The only other thing I can think of is Raynaud's Phenomenon, a general set of Raynaud's, but nausea isn't mentioned as an effect, more vascular than anything and the patient should keep themselves as blanketed as needed. This would be usually diagnosed somewhat more easily.
Serotonin syndrome is marked by other things such as confusion and tremor and other things and is a fairly immediate drug reaction.
