Difficult question: It sounds like you have an adenoma in your pituitary gland, but you did not say that. Your testosterone numbers are obviously improved and you prolactin obviously is now about normal but your testosterone is not normal yet. The medication you are on is not meant to treat the testosterone only the prolactin. It is usually continued for 6 months after the prolactin is normal.
