There is no simple answer to your question. Serotonin syndrome is life-threatening so your treatment would depend on your immediate condition. A thorough evaluation would be the first step.
Hello Sir,
Sorry to hear that you have Serotonin Syndrome. As I am a licensed psychologist and do not prescribe medicine, my suggestion is that you contact the person prescribing the medicine. And discuss with them the Serotonin syndrome and the associated treatment protocol for the syndrome.
Take care and remain safe.
