I have published widely in peer reviewed journals, especially in the field of psychopharmacology, particularly concerning serotonin syndrome / serotonin toxicity. Five of my Major reviews have covered various aspects of serotonin toxicity. I have also reviewed and commented on other aspects of adverse drug interactions.
