Avatar f tn I quit breastfeeding over 6 moths ago and my periods returned, albeit very irregularly. I saw my gynecologist today and she mentioned something called galactorrhea? I am still secreting milk, and I have been having very bad headaches. I have used the ovulation sticks for the past 2 cycles and tested for 2 straight weeks each cycle without any positives for ovulation. As it stands now, my period was due 02/16 and is still m.i.a.

1452839 tn?1286055419 She is the one that had me do the blood work and told me I did not have galactorrhea. As for my mammo and ultra sound well I agree with you. When I went in to have the mammo I could see the masses and she sent me in for a ultra sound right away, the ultra sound teck conformed the masses but told me she could not tell me any more. they two days later I got a letter in the mail that said everything was normal. which was also conformed by the OBGYN and no I was not given a biopsy.
Avatar f tn Hello, The cause of irregular periods could be due to hormonal imbalance, stress, chronic illness, polycystic ovarian disease, thyroid gland disorders or diseases, pituitary gland tumors or cyst, galactorrhea, prolactinomas etc. You should consult a gynecologist and get examined and investigated if the irregularity in periods persists. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.

Avatar f tn If there is any redness then you may apply topical antibiotics like Neosporin. Also consult your gynecologist to rule out galactorrhea and wear cotton undergarments.

997928 tn?1252444237 I've done okay with lamictal, but lamictal and celexa, not so good. And now lamictal with wellbutrin, not so good. At least I think it's not the lamictal. I know my PsychNP put a big no in her notes regarding me and celexa.

Avatar f tn I have been on lamictal 100mg to 150mg, and I haven't noticed any facial hair growth, although I think my hair is thinning out. When I take a shower and put cream rinse in and work it thru, I have lots of hair coming out.
1452839 tn?1286055419 I feel tired, my head hurts, my vision is getting bad kinda like tunnel vision and getting worse, and my balance is very bad. I went to a doctor who stated I had galactorrhea. He sent me to another doctor who had me do some labs for FSH 4.7, LH 14.2, PROLACTIN 9.0, T4 6.2, AND TSH 0.85. As well as a mammogram and ultra sound which came back normal with masses. So my doctor now states that galactorrhea is not the problem and I need to see a Neurologist and a possible MRI.
Avatar n tn If you are saying that you have breast milk, and have not had sex, you might go to the doctor's and get your prolactin levels checked to see if they are out of whack. If you are saying you want to produce breast milk, see your doctor, but I don't think there is any way to make that happen without having a baby.
Avatar f tn It should work once it reaches an appropriate dose. Occassionally at higher dosages Lamictal can sometimes worsen mania but it takes time and a psychiatrist has to see how they are responding in general. Keep a mood tracker here and print out the results for your psychiatrist and ask them to follow up.

Avatar m tn I was taking Bupropion and Lamictal, and switched to Effexor. I have been on Effxor for three weeks. I have had the worst fatigue I have ever felt. So now I am unsure if it was coming off the Lamictal or if it was the Effexor. I am going to stop the Effexor, but I don't know if I should go back on just the Lamictal, The lamictal When I first started taking it, up to 200 mg worked fairly well. I guess my question is, is , has this kind of fatigue been know to be a side effect with Effexor?
Avatar f tn I have seen a ENT doc and my hearing is perfect, nothing else is wrong, only the Lamictal that I am on. My doc one day said oh the ringing could be because of the lamictal which made me start obsessing over it, did not help, and now I have started weening myself off the lamictal but it is not an easy road. I was on 100mg then went down to 50mg for a week now I am down to 25 mg and valuim to take edge off, I hate the way I am feeling and the panic attacks or anxiety are hard.
