Elevated prolactin levels from psychedelic toxicity?

[fanta]

Hi.

I am referring to this thread:

I have felt off for a very long time. I thought my serotonin receptors was damaged. Or something fucked up had happened to my nerve system. I dont know. Something has been off. The psychedelic experience was huge turning point in my life.

I have been in a search trying to fix this. I was borderline suicidal.

This summer I have been doing thorough bloodwork at my doctors office. My prolactin levels have been elevated. I had a reference bloods done a couple of years ago which showed 140 on a scale where <400 is abnormal. I have several consecutive measurements now months a part in the 700-900 range.

That explains a lot. I have felt like shit. No motivation, no energy, moody etc. Prolactin is the reverse of dopamine. If you have high prolactin, you conversely often have low dopamine. This explains why I have been so drawn to dopaminergic hedonism like junk food, nicotine etc.

I started to use P-5-P (vitamin B6 phosfate), vitamin E and zink. I feel better each time that goes by. I am also getting my pituitary scanned.



Does anybody have insight into this?

If you’re serotonin receptors was down regulated you actually would have low prolactin. it’s actually the prove that you didn’t broke your serotonin receptors ahah.

Maybe you could try some cabergoline, Metergoline, Bromocriptide or even fenclonine. See with your general practitioner.

@fanta Be careful before assuming that psychedelics is the cause behind your elevated prolactin levels. A lot of diseases can cause it. search online for them.

Also, I think some medications can rapidly lower prolactin levels by increasing dopamine levels in the body, they counteract each other.

I am not on any medication. I have cleaned up my diet, which didn´t help. But I can feel the difference with taking P-5-P

Is this better than doing P5P? I am currently doing that while taking multivitamin which also contain B6

make sure to do some tests for these:

"Prolactinoma: A benign pituitary tumor that produces excessive amounts of prolactin.

Hypothyroidism: Low thyroid hormone levels can lead to increased prolactin secretion.

Chronic Kidney Disease: Reduced clearance of prolactin by the kidneys can cause elevated levels."
