A member asked:

Dr sneid...you should read more clearly. the source of my elevated prolactin was ocp pills and xanax, (alprazolam) those have stopped. in range now, med not needed?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Wasn't listed: Sorry, that info wasn't on my screen. Those two medications don't commonly increase your prolactin, so be careful to continue to follow your prolactin levels if you try to taper your Cabergoline -- just to insure that there isn't another cause that hasn't been diagnosed yet.
