high prolactin levels

[GIJane1928]

looking for some information on what types of supps can cause elevated prolactin levels. ive been screened for hypothyroidism and a pituitary tumor- both negative. can i be supplementing w (or in tje past) something that can be causing this?

[warbird01]

Probably wanna tell us what you are taking...

[dewing246]

DAA has been shown to cause high prolactin levels in some. But it is a very small percentage from what I remember reading.

[GIJane1928]

multi vit, vit c, vit d, tyrosine, lcarnitine, fish oil, zma, glucosmaine, kelp, green tea, dexaprine

have taken:
l-dopa
maca
cla
lean xtreme

[warbird01]

Never heard of any of those causing high prolactin levels. have you tried any prolactin lowering supps?

[jbryand101b]

inhibit p all day long.

multi vit, vit c, vit d, tyrosine, lcarnitine, fish oil, zma, glucosmaine, kelp, green tea, dexaprine

have taken:
l-dopa
maca
cla
lean xtreme

none of these should be causing significantly high prolactin levels.

L-dopa does the exact opposite

thats what i thought. even using stim products like dex enhances effects of dopamine. i havent tried inhibit-p bc im waiting to see what the endocrinologist says. does it change impact of supps if im a woman?

agreed inhibit p is solid to take at this point. or go with pharm grade aromisin

aromasin is an anti-aromatase. cabergoline (caber) and Pramipexole (prami) are anti-prolactin.

thanks for the info guys. i go see the dr in less than 2 wks. not sure if he is going to prescribe something before more tests. as i said before, no tumor and bloodwork showed no obvious troubles w thyroid. someone in another thread mentioned that prolonged use of l-dopa can cause a spike in prolactin. does anyone know if that occurs or for how long? used it for a while about 6 yrs ago. any other side effects i should be looking for bc i dont have any of the obvious ones

[fightbackhxc]

inhibit p all day long.

all day erry day.

Does a woman with high prolactin want to take a supp containing vitex? Doesn't it have the opposite affect in women than men? I'm honestly not positive i havent read too much on vitex so correct me if I am wrong.

[criticalbench]

Regardless, what course of treatment is your physician prescribing?

[GIJane1928]

i go to dr middle of next wk. just wanted some info on what supps icould have been taking that would impact prolactin so i go go into the appt informed

[GIJane1928]

im hoping that i get something to begin to address the problem... i didnt order anything like inhibt p yet bc i wanted to see what route dr was going to take in treating this. im sure i will end up getting more tests done, as they still arent sure of the cause
