TY - JOUR PY - 1999// TI - Serotonin syndrome caused by overdose with paroxetine and moclobemide JO - Journal of accident and emergency medicine A1 - FitzSimmons, C. R. A1 - Metha, S. SP - 293 EP - 295 VL - 16 IS - 4 N2 - Well known clinical syndromes can be produced by overdose with more commonly ingested substances such as opiates or tricyclic antidepressants. A case of a much more unusual syndrome presenting to the accident and emergency department resulting from overdose with a combination of tablets is reported. The clinical presentation of serotonin syndrome and its management are described. This resulted from acute ingestion of paroxetine, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, and moclobemide, a monoamine oxidase inhibitor.
