Does Abilify increase prolactin levels? I don't want it to stop my period like the Olanzapine did..

Some people have issues on Abilify and some people don't. I think it all depends on your body chemistry. I'm on Geodon and don't have prolactin issues, weight gain or diabetes but there are others who do have these issues. So, like all meds YMMV.

No I got put on abilify because my prolactin was high with risperidone and I got my period back and prolactin was 5 which is normal.

I am on Abilify and get my period. However, it made me gain weight. I think the side effects might be different in different people.
