Anne, I saw your post on the OBGYN, I too 3 years ago had elevated testosterone (141) and elevated prolactin. I had a dex-supression test to make sure it was not caused by tumor on the adrenal glands, that was negative. I was put on Deltasone and Parladel for 6 months to bring down. I was not a good candidate for the BCP. I started doing some investigating and turned to natural progesterone. I have been on it for the past 2 1/2 years and not on any other medication and my levels are all normal. I too was having acne, anxiety, aggitation, greasy hair just to name a few. Check out my web page at http://expage.com/page/hotflash Click on the 8th hyperlink to read a short booklet on the subject. The pass code is the word preston. I hope this helps! Sherrie
