Serotonin Syndrome vs. Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome

My goal is to reduce educational disparities by making education FREE.
These videos help you score extra points on medical school exams (USMLE, COMLEX, etc.)
For educational purposes only; NOT medical or other advice.
Some videos contain mild profanity and hyperbole solely used to assist with memorization. Viewer discretion advised.
Opinions are entirely my own.

Love your videos! Thanks for sharing. I use SS causes Sh*ts and Shakes

Great video, it really clicked when you said that the symptoms are just exaggerated forms of the side effects you get when starting those drugs normally! However, you can still get an elevated CK in serotonin syndrome. Probably the other thing to add is that NMS generally develops over days to weeks, and takes longer to resolve (slower onset, slow offset) whereas serotonin syndrome develops over 24 hours and resolves in 24 hours (quick onset, quick offset), but there is a bit of overlap

This video saved me so much time; I heard it 3x during class and still didn't fully understand it. However, now when i take my shelf exam i will visualize this 😊 thank you as always for your creative videos!

It is high-yield to add that the Tx for SS is cyproheptadine. Maybe you can think of someone dining on the top of the ship.

September 18, 2022 is my second birthday. My symptoms lasted for 20 hours, I passed out countless times, I was shaking UNCONTROLLABLE, I had diarrhea, my heart wanted to jump out, but at the same time I couldn't stand on my feet. When I was conscious I prayed to God to forgive my sins if this is the time for me to leave. After everything, they told me in the emergency room that it was a panic attack, countless infusions, because I was in two hospitals. I knew it wasn't because I was passing out all day. I was on anti-depressants and migraine medication, both of which have high doses of serotonin. I thank God for a second chance, and I am afraid of the incompetence of our doctors. 18.09. is the date of my patron saint and I know who saved my life then. Since then, I've been fighting and struggling with panic attacks, but that day was not one of them.

[cucumbermelon]
