The clinical features of NMS and serotonergic syndrome are very similar. This can make differentiating them very difficult
Features, classically present in NMS, that are useful for differentiating the two syndromes are:
1. Fever
2. Muscle rigidity
3. Labratory Values (WBC & CK)

NMS (idiosyncratic reaction to therapeutic dosage):
slow onset
bradykinesia
lead-pipe rigidity
autonomic instability
increased CPK
SS (manifestation of toxicity):
rapid onset
hyperkinesia (tremor)
agitation
clonus
diarrhea
Both: hyperthermia, mental status change
