Not a problem... it didn't sound like it fit the profile to me, but again, we can't all sit here and practice medicine without a license so to speak.
If they re-evaluated it as that, well yes, I know serotonin syndrome goes unreported, I think especially cases where (fortunately) the patient is coherent and feels fewer of the most serious effects, not to be morose, but... well... comas, or on the other end of the spectrum, probably even more common, where little is felt and it can stretch on for time before it enters a stage that should be taken care of.
This is why that (and my doctor is aware and it is taken for a specific reason, hopefully for better sleep) people should tell their doctor what "dietary supplements" they are taking. For example I take a modest amount of 5-HTP and L-tryptophan.
Well that pretty much is a rule-out for a lot of people on MAOIs, and for people who are taking multiple serotonin affecting agents, it may or may not be the best idea, depending on the amount of supplement(s) on takes.-- tidings
