A member asked:

My wife weights 417 and has not had a menstrual cycle in over two years she is also on invega sustenna (paliperidone palmitate) what could be the problem weight are meds?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Either: Antipsychotics can affect the hormones that regulate cycles. Women who are very low weight or who exercise a lot can also stop menstruating. Blood tests of fsh, estradiol, tsh, and prolactin can help determine which is the cause.
