Lab Results!

Got Lab Results.
Estradiol - Range: -50pg. My result: 56pg.
Prolactin - Range: 2-18ng. My result: 53ng.
What supplements should I take? My prolactin is really high. Thanks guys.
 
Without any more info, it's hard to make any suggestions. Are you using any supplements currently (legal or illegal)? What's your training like? Diet?
 
just to echo what everyone else said we will need more information to provide the best help.
Other than that Inhibit-p from SNS is designed specifically to help with this.
Other options include P5P and Mucuna Purienas which do help lower prolactin levels (the former of which is found in AlphaMax)
 
third vote for inhibit p (immediate help) but you really need to dig deeper and potentially go for caber or something pham level.
 
I'm 5'6" 140 lbs. I ordered inhibit E and Inhibit P. Started taking them after I got my labs done. They said my labs were fine and that my prolactin was high due to the use of antipsychotics. I have schizophrenia. Just wondering how I can get my prolactone and estrogen lower using supplements.
 
It'll be interesting to see how the two affect you. Will u be redrawing bloods in a couple months?
 
I'm 26 years old. The only supplement I recently took was Estrogenex Depot. Had no idea It had a prohormone (epiandrosterone) in it. Did some research and know have more knowledge about prohormones. I'm relatively new to this. I took it because I thought I had estrogen issues. It pissed me off because all it did was aggravate my gyno and make me shed.

this is likely the cause for the higher values. Prohormones will definitely mess with your blood values
 
There is also BLRs Prolactin inhibitor, I know their letrone has worked really good for some but I cant say about their prolation lowering product.

What antipsychotic are you taking?
There may well be a direct contraindication to taking a pro-dopamine supplement with your medication.

A primary mechanism of antipsychotic meds is inhibiting dopamine transmission- some of the older generation meds are indiscriminate in dopamine antagonism (so will block at the lactotrophs--> increase prolactin). Although the newer generation meds are more selective to the mesolimbic system (target area for schizophrenia treatment) and indirectly inhibit dopaminergic transmission (through 5HT2A receptors)- high prolactin is still noted as an adverse event- more so at high doses.
 
I vote for ALPHAMAX by performax labs and inhibit p . If you cant get prami or caber . These may help you . Certain A P Pills will ravage your hormones bad as well. Let us all know wat exactly your taking and what doses. Good luck op.

Great post

I'm taking clozapine (clozaril), an old antipsychotic, but the most powerful one. Also, Latuda, a new antipsychotic. I appreciate your knowledge.

Clozapine is actually an atypical antipsychotic (newish generation)- and is least likely to produce undesirable D2 antagonist adverse effects (extrapyramidal kinesic effects , elevated prolactin).
Lurasidone is more than likely the reason for the elevated prolactin.

In any case I wouldn't start the any prolactin control supplements until you have spoken with your treating physician. The old school of thought is that pro-dopaminergic compounds can exacerbate psychotic illness- on paper L-Dopa has direct pharmacodynamic interaction. There is a actually a current trial specifically testing L-Dopa as treatment for EPSE in those treated with antipsychotics- their hypothesis is that it may work to control these.
In any case- given Clozapine alone requires ongoing monitoring- you don't want to be messing with your treatment, especially is it is stabile, unless your treating physician is aware and can monitor it.

I am amazed by your knowledge. Did you go to school?
