For the record, my prolactin
Levels are fine on my tablet.
On a different med, they stopped.
But adding a diff AP
Would have helped this
I was advised.
But I needed to switch
For other reasons. I
Don't think it would
Be fair to let this happen
To a female patient and the
Doctor refusing to change
The medication. Conspiracy
Theorists would love this
Nugget of information.
A drugs for treating
Mental health disorders
That stops womens cycles/menses
As a side effect.
The article entitled:
Doctors steralising patients
With prescribed mediction.
Thats not the case.
Once drug is changed
The cycle returns to normal.
I guess its not fair
To ignore male patients
In their department either.
How many would
Come clean to their psych
Even if they thought
It was the drug?
With these drugs a lot
Of the time you have
To weigh up the pro's and cons.
And the doctors seem
To try and avoid
The muddier side to them.
