Is there a possibility of serotonin syndrome when using Setaloft at a dose of 50 mg / day?

Unfortunately, it is not possible to directly determine the risk of serotonin syndrome. This depends on the individual susceptibility of the patient. Sertraline (Setaloft) is one of the more commonly used antidepressants, and the dose of 50 mg/day is the starting and primary dose for a large group of patients. Used as monotherapy (i.e. without including other antidepressants), it very rarely results in a complication in the form of serotonin syndrome. The key, therefore, is to follow the doctor's recommendations regarding the dose used and carefully combine sertraline with other drugs, as they can increase the risk of serotonin syndrome. Therefore, I encourage you to inform your pharmacist or doctor about taking Setaloft before using a new drug (also without a prescription) – then you will be informed whether the selected preparation is safe for you. I will also add that despite the probably small chance of this side effect, it is worth being aware of the symptoms that indicate it. These are: - change in mental state: anxiety, agitation, confusion, - accelerated heartbeat, excessive sweating, increase in blood pressure, - nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, - tremor or muscle stiffness.
