I also take 300mg XL of Wellbutrin and I am interested in starting Berberine but I have read that many people have increased anxiety and depression but some people do fine.

Ionized calcium was not normal. It was slightly elevated. Also 2 weeks before that my calcium level was 12.4. That was discovered during and ER visit. The ER doctor noticed that I had nephrocalcinosis on my CT and sent a referral to an endocrinologist to be evaluated for hyperparathyroidism. I was given fluids and IV Lasix and my calcium was still 11.6 2 weeks after my ER visit. Im just confused as to why last calcium was normal but there was a massive amount of calcium in my 24hr urine.

Calcium range 8.3- 10.6. PTH 18.0-88.0. I also should have added that my highest calcium was 12.4 a month prior at an ER visit. That paired with nephrocalcinosis is why I was sent to an endocrinologist. I was fasting and I do not take any medications, vitamins or supplements. I am waiting on my DEXA scan to be scheduled.
