Hi doctor, I am a 21 year old male. For the past three weeks, I have been feeling sick. My symptoms are a feeling of general fatigue of my entire body with loss of energy and appetite. Before I got sick, I spent over a week working hard. I just had food once or twice a day, drank little water and did not sleep enough hours. Also, for more than a month I am suffering from stress and anxiety in my work. I went to visit a neurologist and he said that I had a low level of serotonin. Do you think this diagnostic is accurate? I have had several blood examinations and they all come out good and I also have a tube in my stomach to check for any issues and it was all good. If it is a low level of serotonin, what do you suggest is the best way to recuperate? What should I eat? What should I avoid? The neurologist wanted me to take Lexapro, which is a pill to treat people suffering depression. I heard it has very bad side effects and I have not started taking it, as I am trying to eat healthy and rest as much as possible. Is this something that people normally get better from? Let me know, if you want to see my blood reports as I can attach it. Any of your advice or suggestion is greatly appreciated.
