TY - JOUR PY - 2010// TI - Serotonin syndrome in the deployed setting JO - Military medicine A1 - Lawyer, Timothy I. A1 - Jensen, Jeremy A1 - Welton, Randon S. SP - 950 EP - 952 VL - 175 IS - 12 N2 - Serotonin syndrome is a potential side effect of some psychotropic medications in common use today. With over 8000 adverse events related to this condition in 2004 alone, this risk warrants further attention.
