A member asked:

Could a bad fall make a period stop? my periods stopped haven't had one since november. what could it be from? could it also be from taking latuda (lurasidone)?

Latuda (lurasidone): most likely reason for lack of periods assuming you're not pregnant. Latuda (lurasidone) can cause an elevation of the hormone prolactin causing periods to stop. Talk to prescribing doctor and check prolactin level. If higher than normal, discuss lowering Latuda (lurasidone) dose and how to follow-up. Take care.

Agree w Dr Foster: Amenorrhea (lack of periods) can occur in 0.1% to 1% of women who take Latuda.
