I'm not there yet but wonder if the meds are affecting my periods and if so what will happen once I hit that time frame. It's not that far away
Kindest regards!


I know this is for 50 plus year olds but I want to let you know that my periods completely stopped from APs and prolactin levels that they raise. I now take birth control just to make me normal. I've quit risperdal, the suspected med months ago so I'm hoping that was the issue. There's a few APs that cause your levels to go haywire so I have heard of this issue before. Sorry to crash your 50+ party just wanted to put in my two cents[emoji12]
