I highly suspect that I have been living with moderate Serotonin Syndrome for at least for 5 years and I hypesalivate like Donald Duck daily.

Thank you so much for your honest reply. I do appreciate your concerns about me.

I think you could be right when you say that SS doesn't last five years and how you said that if I indeed have SS I would be dead by then. But I was so desperate to find the reason for my hypersalivation that maybe I jumped into a wrong conclusion.

When I looked online for symptoms of SS, I did find that hypersalivation can be present when SS occurs and other symptoms that I have daily, too. I just thought that the symptoms of SS can occur in a mild manner chronically if the blood level of serotonin is not significant enough to be life threating but siginificant enough to cause non life threating, but uncomfortable symptoms.

I have been on high doses of Effexor and Cymbolta for about theree years along with Adderall and Trazodone. This regimen of medications were prescribed when I was reluctanly admitted to psych ward for confessing to the therapist that I have a storng suicide ideation. The medications did not help much so they gave me 50 sessions of ECT and I lied to them by saying that I do not have any suicidal thoughts
