Im still having muscle twitches 2 months later.

I would say serotonin syndrome is an acute thing & shouldnt last 2 months.
I hope you were diagnosed by a Neurologist becuase it may very well be something else like "tardive dyskinesia".
my advice is to see a neurologist.
Good luck

That's something you should probably be asking your doctor. It depends on the specific medications and dose, and the patient's history. In general, I would say that the best thing would be to try a different type of antidepressent if at all possible. If that's not an option for whatever reason, I think that there are SSRIs that are different enough from each other that it might be possible, but I'm not at all sure of that. Really, serotonin syndrome is potentially lethal, and not really something to mess around with, so I'd say it's better safe than sorry. But I'm not a doctor, and that's not a medical opinion at all - just accademic speculation.

If you're talking about withdrawal from a certain anti-depressant, I know it CAN take pretty long to get back to 'normal.'
Jitters, brain zaps, dizziness, twitches, etc......
