It has also been suggested that mirtazapine has no significant serotonergic effects and is therefore not a dual action drug. [34] Bupropion has also been suggested to cause SS, [35] [36] although as there is no evidence that it has any significant serotonergic activity, it is thought unlikely to produce the syndrome. [37]

Many people can eventually be restarted on a lower dose of antipsychotic. [2] [3] As of 2011, among those in psychiatric hospitals on antipsychotics about 15 per 100,000 are affected per year (0.015%). [1] In the second half of the 20th century rates were over 100 times higher at about 2% (2,000 per 100,000). [1]
