It is a factor of great importance for the nervous system.<\/p>\n<p>When the body does not have enough serotonin, symptoms of depression begin to appear. Symptoms such as extreme fatigue, unhappiness and introversion are seen.<\/p>\n<p>When the body is overloaded with serotonin, the opposite symptoms of depression are observed.<\/p>\n<p>The person has excessive nervous activity. For this reason, serotonin is a body secretion with the most sensitive balance order and this sensitivity must be maintained.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>\u00a0\u00a0What Are the Symptoms of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plasticsurgeryistanbul.net\/en\/\">Serotonin Syndrome<\/a>?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Since it is a component that directly reaches and acts on the neural neurons in the brain, the symptoms of serotonin excess usually appear in a short time.<\/li>\n<li>In some bodies, symptoms begin to appear 1 hour after the action that causes an increase in serotonin occurs.<\/li>\n<li>The resulting symptoms continue to increase out of control if not intervened. In some bodies, this time frame may be longer, but the changes that will occur as a result of the delay of the intervention will reach the same point.<\/li>\n<li>Serotonin syndrome is a disorder that is difficult to resolve on its own, especially in overdose increases.<\/li>\n<li>Seeing a specialist doctor as soon as possible after consuming the drugs that cause the syndrome will prevent life-threatening risks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>The main symptoms of the disease are:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Anxious and tense mood<\/li>\n<li>clouding of consciousness<\/li>\n<li>dilation of pupils<\/li>\n<li>Changes in body temperature<\/li>\n<li>Blood pressure drop\/rise<\/li>\n<li>Nausea<\/li>\n<li>Extraordinary increase in heart rate<\/li>\n<li>Diarrhea<\/li>\n<li>Muscle twitches and muscle coordination out of control<\/li>\n<li>Excessive sweating<\/li>\n<li>Chills and trembling<\/li>\n<li>Headache<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These are the first-stage symptoms of serotonin syndrome. If the above changes are observed after consuming any of the drugs that may affect the amount of serotonin, a treatment center should be consulted as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise, the disease may lead to a more severe process that can be life-threatening.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Symptoms that indicate that the disease is more dangerous than expected are as follows:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Seizure<\/li>\n<li>Excessive increase in the body&#8217;s fever level<\/li>\n<li>Weight loss<\/li>\n<li>Irregularity in heartbeat rhythm<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong>What Causes Serotonin Syndrome?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Misuse of antidepressant type drugs used to balance serotonin in the body can cause the syndrome.<\/li>\n<li>The drugs in question are rich in serotonin, as they are used to eliminate the lack of serotonin in people with depression and to suggest damage to the nervous system.<\/li>\n<li>In the consumption of these drugs, the dose adjustment is carried out by the specialist doctor and the patients are asked not to deviate from the determined dose schedule.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.turkeyistanbulmedical.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Serotonin syndrome<\/a> may occur when a large dose is taken out of the program, or when another drug containing serotonin is consumed, other than the drug the doctor gives to the patient.<\/li>\n<li>Antidepressants have a high risk of interacting with each other. Therefore, the use of drugs whose side effects may conflict with each other should be avoided.<\/li>\n<li>Another situation that causes serotonin imbalance is the wrongly adjusted consumption amount while increasing the dose of antidepressant drugs.<\/li>\n<li>There is a perception that the faster the dose increase, the faster the treatment will take place, especially in patients who have just started the drugs used in the treatment of depression.<\/li>\n<li>It is natural for the patient to want to regain his health as soon as possible due to the psychological state he is in.<\/li>\n<li>However, it is certain that the treatment process does not work in this way. Because serotonin is not an element that can be stored in the body like vitamin B12.<\/li>\n<li>Loading the body with an excessive amount of serotonin at once does not mean that these serotonins are stored in the relevant unit and used as needed.<\/li>\n<li>Therefore, in order not to cause serotonin syndrome, it is necessary to follow the schedule determined by the doctor in increasing the dose.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"vIPs362jEn\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/plasticsurgeryistanbul.net\/en\/blog_article\/horner-syndrome\/\">Horner  Syndrome<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Horner  Syndrome&#8221; &#8212; Plastic surgery in Istanbul\" src=\"https:\/\/plasticsurgeryistanbul.net\/en\/blog_article\/horner-syndrome\/embed\/#?secret=KntD5q0nl6#?secret=vIPs362jEn\" data-secret=\"vIPs362jEn\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":6084,"template":"","blog_articles_category":[169],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v18.1 (Yoast SEO v18.4.1) -
