judyinthesky Posted August 18, 2020 Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 Hey! I have done some catecholamines testing and my adrenaline and noradrenaline are below range, but what is puzzling me is the high serotonin value. 80-190 ug/g is normal, whereas mine is at 1.032. They checked the value. My dopamine is within range (only in urine, it was high one time in serum/plasma). I have pancreatic insufficiency and a whole lot of weird symptoms from Burning Mouth Syndrome, shortened sleep, fatigue syndrome that reacts with nervous system involvement (wiredness), and I went through a period of anxiety and depression when I was untreated for the pancreatic insufficiency and hyperthyroid (I have no thyroid). I wonder now whether the serotonin can be a reaction to something lower (like the other catecholamines), it at least explains my adverse reaction to SSRI. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

sue1234 Posted August 20, 2020 Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 I'm thinking of the obvious question, but do you take any anti-depressants or OTC supplements to boost serotonin? If not, your doctor might need to think about Carcinoid and investigate down that path. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
