Which symptom is NOT associated with serotonin syndrome?

Hypotension is indeed not typically associated with serotonin syndrome. In fact, serotonin syndrome more commonly leads to symptoms such as agitation, hallucinations, and neuromuscular symptoms like twitching.

Serotonin syndrome is a potentially life-threatening condition resulting from excessive serotonergic activity in the central nervous system, frequently due to the use of medications that increase serotonin levels. Common symptoms include cognitive disturbances, such as agitation and hallucinations, as well as neuromuscular hyperactivity, which can manifest as twitching or tremors.

On the other hand, hypotension is not characteristic of serotonin syndrome. In many cases, patients may actually experience hypertension due to increased sympathetic nervous system activity. Recognizing the hallmark symptoms of serotonin syndrome is crucial for effective diagnosis and intervention.
