A member asked:

Dr put me on cabergoline for elevated prolactin, i stopped ocp pills & xanax since, wont prolactin lower now minus medication, i have no tumor. ?

Possibly: You may have a small tumor that can't be seen on x-ray. Or, you may have elevated prolactin due to medication, although xanax (alprazolam) is not a common offender. Talk w/your physician or an endocrinologist.
