Raised prolactin levels

Just wondering if anyone has any experience of raised prolactin levels.

I missed my period for 3 months and they’d never been regular before then either but no where near as bad as that.

I had a blood test about 3 months ago and it showed the level was raised but didn’t tell me then what it was. The nurse just said something was raised.

I had a blood test a month later and the prolactin was even higher. But no idea by how much. Nor did I know it was prolactin.

Then after I had the results from the second blood test, I had a phone call with my psychiatrist, who said my prolactin levels were raised. And to think about another anti psychotic (aripiprazole), to see if a low dose would reduce the prolactin. Currently on 18mg haloperidol.

After my discussion with my psychiatrist today he’s adding 5mg of aripiprazole to my prescription and to test again after I’ve taken it for two weeks.

Anyone got any experience of doing this or just general raised prolactin levels.
