Serotonin syndrome can cause life-threatening neuromuscular hyperexcitability and extreme blood pressure changes, but little guidance exists on controlling blood pressure in hyperserotonergic states.
What are effective measures to control severe arterial hypertension associated with serotonin syndrome?

May prioritize benzodiazepines, cyproheptadine, or propofol over classic antihypertensives for hypertension in serotonin syndrome; challenges current protocols and warrants prospective trials.
