I hate to mention this, but is there any possibility you could have a small tumor on the pituitary gland? Not wanting to put ideas in your head, but you are such a smart person I'm sure you already thought of this.Hi MidnightBlue (I love that name!)
Yes, I thought of it a long time ago when I had trouble with antipsychotics. That is when I had my prolactin level measured. My doctor told me (not that she is right) that is was on the high side but not abnormally high and so she ruled out the possibility of a tumor based on that. I know that benign (usually) tumors can occur on that gland. Do you think I should ask for further investigation?
