aripiprazole and prolactin

I might be pregnant and my psychiatrist told me not to worry about the embryo. He told me that even while I'm taking 15 mg of Aripiprazole and 50 mg of Sertraline daily, there is no danger. I'm really worried. if I'm pregnant,would these doses harm my embryo being taken daily?

Hi I'm on 50mg of methadone and 10mg of aripiprazole and I'm wondering if I should keep taking the 2 together as it makes me mega drowsy and also is this combination a thing to worry av about can someone let me know please?

What is the lethal dose of aripiprazole, quetiapine and lamotrigine? Mix of them.

yes antipsychotic and called abilify in ireland and Us.

I would try replacing the Aripiprazole (Abilify) and the Sertraline (Zoloft) by taking 25mg of 5-HTP 3x Daily for 1 week as anymore than this could induce Serotonin Syndrome. I would then recommend swapping the tablets out for a 5-HTP transdermal patch which will release a more even dose of 5-HTP throughout the day especially if you have BPD as otherwise the oral form could cause mania.

Traditionally, prolactin levels were measured in ng/ml, and normal prolactin levels in women are less than 20 ng/ml. The new units are pmol/l and to convery you need to multiply by 44. This means the normal level is less than 700 pmol/l or mIU/L High prolactin levels can cause anovulation. Some women with hyperprolactinemia may also notice that they have a milky discharge from their breasts. This is called galactorrhea.

I have just started taking Aripiprazole(Abilify) and have found it to have some beneficial effects on my mood. However I am also finding myself to be extremely drowsy. I have heard that this side effect wears off with time. Has anyone else experienced this? It's the first antipsychotic I've taken that's had any effect so I don't want to stop it but the fact I can literally go to sleep while standing up is making my life difficult.

Since three days ago I noticed these rashes in my right armpit. They itch mildly and I feel mild discomfort. Can anyone tell me what these are? Are there any over the counter medications I should try? * Age: 25 * Sex: Male * Height: 5 feet 5 * Weight: 70 kg * Race: South Asian * Duration of complaint: 3 days * Location (Geographic and on body): Right armpit * Any existing relevant medical issues (if any) * Current medications (if any): Fluoxetine 40mg/day, Aripiprazole 2.5 mg/day.

Hello ,I have detected with high level of prolactin 48.2 ng/ml and very slight enlargement in ovaries due to polysycsts.I still have regualr menstrual cycle and dont have any physical sign of high level of prolactin like liquid discharge from breast etc.I am very very stressful for a year so is it stress causing high prolactin?? may i still have the chances to get pregnant before treating these health problem??

My mother (she is 78) fell yesterday in the early evening and she will be all right but she busted her nose and knee and we had to get her to the hospital by ambulance. My therapist says that my mom is the culprit to my anxiety and other mental issues. When this happened I was on my way to pick up my daughter from the ex-wife. Needless to say, I didn't get much sleep last night. We brought her home at around 10:00 and I had to get up early to get my daughter ready for kindergarten.

They perscribed me birth control pills and ordered a series of test like TSH, Free T4 and prolactin. I began the birth control pills and the lactation stopped. I didn't equate that beginning the birth control pill was related to the the halt of lactation until about a year later. They ordered the tests again and prolactin was normal. My endocrinologist however suspected that I needed to be off the pill and take the test again.

All of them came in normal range except for Prolactin and Macro Prolactin with slight elevation 40ng/mL. I am currently on anti-depressant (Celexa and Atarax) so my doctor said it might be the medication that elevate my prolactin. He told me to come back in 4 months to reassess and told me not to worry because Prolactin can be controlled by medication. Is there anything else that I miss? Please let me know.

9, LH 21, and Prolactin 9. The endocrinologist said I am in premature menopause and has sent me to see my ob doctor. I have a lot of dizzy spells with sinus trouble over the last several months. They said that because the prolactin dropped there is no need for an MRI but something is telling me otherwise. There is no history of premature menopause in my family??? Can someone help me make sense of this situation? Thank you!

Hi I think hormones (imbalance) and prolactin are at the root cause of GM.. I have not taken anti-depressants prior to my developing GM, but I did take sulpha drugs and tI do have an allergy to them, a higher than normal incidence of sulpha drug allergy has been shown in the one study done in the US comparing lifestyle and health backgrounds of GM sufferers. Something initiates an auto-immune response in the breast...and it develops in to GM.

How does high prolactin affect the skin and hair? my skin got saggy, puffy and pale. I am on cabergoline now and wonder if it will help it. Could it have been a decrease in estrogen? My hair seems thinner and "off" Can prolactin also affect allergies? my skin is also blotchy now and my allergies seem crazy.

my fiance and i have been tryong to have a baby for about a year now and and we have been trying and have had no luck... i dont know what to do we are starting to wonder if one of us is infertile... we want to have a baby so bad and we need advice on what to do..

yeah i been diagnosed with a prolactinoma and was told that once my prolactin was down i would get my period.

I have high Dhea and High Prolactin but I am still trying to find out the coralization. The doctor tell me the high Dhea leads them to think I could have a tumar in the adrenal glands somewhere either in the adrenals them self or in the overies or in the brain. So far they have looked in all those places on me and found no tumars yet and now I'm weighting to hear why my prolactin is high now to an why there high at the same time because here way different gland systems.

Could you list your lab ranges for testosterone and prolactin. In general, blood prolactin above 200 ng/ml almost always is diagnostic of a true prolactinoma. High prolacin lowers testosterone. And if your testosterone is also measured in ng/dL that is so low it's ridiculous! Research shows over 95% of euthyroid patients with no thyroid symptoms has a TSH under 2.5mU/L. TSH is of no value with conditions that do not affect the thyroid such as central hypothyroidism and cellular resistance.

, thank gosh)and said my prolactin level was too high. They checked it again later that year and the level was ok for someone who was not preggo. My boobs have never stopped leaking. They leak only enough that you can squeeze a drop of milk out if you are trying to. I was reaading the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility and it dawned on me that this might be our fertility issue. Apparently if prolactin levels are too high it inhibits estrogen making.

Well I think you should also take blood tests for FSH, LH and Testosterone and perhaps repeat prolactin again in a few months time. If you know that you produced sperm at some point in your lifetime, then probably you will be able to produce sperm again once the medication takes full effect and prolactin is stabilized. However, FSH is the best test you can take because then you will know whether your testicles are working or not.

ve read the information on Prolactin and it is quite intereresting. I hate blood tests so this maybe one reason why the Prolactin was high together with being hypo-thyroid. It scares me a little because it is to do with fertility and I haven't started a family yet but would like to in the future. I will be tested in 5 months time so hopefully it won't be as high. The meds I was on before was 20mg Liothyronine (T3) in the morning and 50mg of Levothyroxine (T4) at night.

I would see if they tested all the pituitary hormones and not just prolactin as you may be mis-diagnosed. Other hormones and actually meds and illness can cause lactation, but usually with a raise in prolactin. Get copies.

I have also read recently that another possibility when Clomid is unsuccessful is an elevated prolactin level. My doctor just determined that I also have an elevated prolactin level and wants to have an MRI...from what I have read, once I have my MRI, there is a medication given to lower the prolactin level.

Your 3 test results are all in the exact range of an endocrinologist dream perfect scenerio for diagnosis of a tumor. Rumpled and I had much lower prolactin amounts yet still with a tumor. Mine was 50.5 and yet my Dr. still did MRI and started me on Cabergoline (Dostinex). I also have thryroid problems and other endocrine issues that cause me to be very tired and have weight gain. You need all things tested and treated... Good luck!
