ScrapingBottom Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Oh, help. This post is going to be TMI. I've been taking 2.5 mg of Zyprexa for exactly a month, today. I am supposed to be having my period right now. But I'm not. Is it soon enough to have the side effect of loss of menstruation? I have also had sex a few times. Irresponsibly. With a man who had a vasectomy a long while back. But I'm still freaked out -- what if I'm pregnant? I'm 45, and on all of these medications and just can't be pregnant! I took a home pregnancy test two days ago and got a negative. I just read about the loss of menstruation side effect today. Does prolactin show up in a blood test? I'm about to lose my mind over this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Prolactin is easily tested for in a blood test. There can be other factors to losing your period, but sometimes the atypical antipsychotic (AAP) class can cause a raise in prolactin and it stops your period. Talk to your doc if it doesn't come in the next few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
