I understand your frustration and I’ve studied Seratonin Syndrome. I’m not defending the drug companies OR the incompetent Psych Dr’s. that prescribe at random. (there are plenty of them) I’m just saying that there are many people who have benefited from the meds when used carefully and selectively.
I agree with you on that. I know many who take SSRI's etc and it helps tham. But still the word needs to get out there are those of us out there who usually due to motor or sensory nuero impairments seem to be more at risk for this reaction.
My guess is because the neuro disorder is the primary illness and causes symptoms of secondary mental ones. Understanding the link goes miles in helping a person live with it :>} I found out when it comes to what I have the basic long held treatment beliefs go out the window as. For example I do avoid offending triggers as much as possible including TV except black and white. The strobing of color TV can trigger it in a high action movie etc. I also shop late at night in quiter conditions.
A good medical history work up even back to such things as tubes in the ears in childhood should send up a caution flag using antidepressants of any class.
