Serotonin OD

Hi everyone. Typical hypochondriac here.

Tonight I'm fixated on overdoing on the chemical imbalance/med in my brain 🙄

Great. Why? Because my brain is fried, dead fried. Can hardly process a thought. And the sense of dying in my sleep is dreadful tonight.

If anyone would like to give me some words of encouragement I would appreciate it more than you'd know.. thanks.

Just take deep breaths and know you're going to be better. We don't have to have all the answers. Just be.

If you had serotonin syndrome you would have a high fever and muscle rigidity. Why do you think you may be in trouble?

I have no symptoms and have been on my medication for around 4 months. My hypochondria just loves to feed on anything I can think is possible....

It's just my brain is slow at night. Tonight it feels slower. Like I'm dying.

I know that brain... I have that brain! The reason I know about serotonin syndrome is because I’ve been to the ER thinking that I had it. Here’s the thing. You don’t. You wouldn’t be typing to me if you did. You will wake up tomorrow morning and likely feel much better than you do right now. I hope you can calm your mind and get some good sleep.
