Re: High prolactin levels - ADDENDUM TO MY QUESTION ABOVE

I have been reading on the web about weight gain being related to high prolactin but nothing real conclusive or direct. I am 31 (sorry, posted to the wrong board!) and have gained probably 30 lbs in the past 1-1/2 years with no appreciable change in diet or exercise. I realize metabolism changes as you age but this significant of a gain so quickly seemed so odd to me. My Primary wasn't at all concerned. Could the prolactin be a factor?
