Asking For Self, Male 25, out of country
My valproate and prolactin levels were high due to medications that I was taking (mentioned ahead). My doctor has started to taper down my medications and that has brought my valproate and prolactin levels down. However, my last blood test report showed that I have a very low number of eosinophils. Can someone please explain why does this generally occur and is this something to be worried about?
The test was done fasting in the morning.

There has been a consistent downwards trend. I am worried if this is maybe an endocrinology issue. Please guide
