Actually this is a very in-depth article concerning hyperprolactinemia that you will find useful:
http://www.emedicine.com/med/topic1098.htm
This will just save a lot of time because you can read it at your leisure.
Also, basically the "bad stuff" I was talking about most likely doesn't concern you. I just want you to be aware that other things (some serious some not so serious) can cause the heightened prolactin you are having, but it is most likely the drugs you are on causing it, so you really have nothing to worry about.
Come to think of it, is your doctor aware of what is happening?
