Amenorrhea

Dear Fellow Listers:
I have a patient referred to me for amenorrhea. She's in her early
30s, is on risperdal, an anti-psychotic, and smokes 2 packs of cigarettes
daily. Her serum prolactin is 111, probably secondary to the risperdal(I
called one of the local medical endocrinologists who assured me that this
was probably the case. He said that he would not further evaluate her
hyperprolactinemia unless is went above 130.).
Would any of you further evaluate the prolactin at this time? I don't
feel that I can treat her with OCPs due to her smoking. Would any of you
place her on ERT to protect against bone loss?
Regards,
Bill Katz
