===[[Serotonin syndrome]] vs [[Neuroleptic malignant syndrome]]===
*History of a new serotonergic drug or a dose increase of a serotonergic drug are helpful
*Serotonin syndrome is usually much more acute in onset than NMS which may develop over days or weeks
*Presence of ‘lead pipe’ rigidity is typical of NMS, while patients with serotonin syndrome manifest tremor and hyperreflexia
*Elevations in CK, LFTs, and WBC, coupled with a low iron level, distinguishes NMS from serotonin syndrome among patients taking neuroleptic and serotonin agonist medications simultaneously
