Abstract
We report three cases in which toxic serotonin syndrome developed in r elation to three different selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SS RI) (ie, fluoxetine, sertraline, paroxetine), and which all responded to the discontinuation of the SSRI and also to an additional propranol ol treatment.
