Considered MAJOR...
Taking SSRIs with OTC medications with Dextromethorphan in them also is not recommended. This may result in too much serotonin actions too.
Tramadol has some antidepressant actions in it, but they are mild.
But combined with other drugs that increase serotonin, this may be contributory to serotonin syndrome. |
I saw that too but my doctor and pharmacist both said it is extremely rare and if I start having any of those symptoms then be worried. It seems like many people are on SSRIs and pain killers? Everything is so confusing.
May I ask what meds you are on Mrs.D? And the cause of your neuropathy? You seem to be the foremost expert on this forum and I am wondering what works for you
