About a year ago I was diagnosed with serotonin syndrome, however it was irregular in which only one drug would cause the effects. I have been very carful to avoid drugs that will increase my serotonin for it will result in; heavy sleeping (sleeping 24 hours for up to four days), extreeme stuttering, confusion, and deep depressive episodes (when the drug first takes affect, I will cry and scream about how everyone is mad at me for my stuttering and how everyone thinks I'm faking or other such things). In one severe case I even suffered double vision for about six months. I have been hospitalized for an extended ammount of time twice for this reaction.

Recently, the side affects came on once more only without the aid of a drug. I was normal one minute and stuttering the next. Could this be purely psychological or could there be another reason for my reaction (perhaps a serotonin imbalance?) and is there anything I can do. Thank you for your help.
