Abstract

Serotonin syndrome occurs with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, opioids, and other serotonergic agents. We describe a possible serotonin syndrome related to intrathecal fentanyl in a patient taking multiple drugs and substances such as ergot alkaloids, marijuana, methylenedioxy-N-methylamphetamine, and ephedrine.
