Are you diagnosed as having thyroid disease?

On any thyroid medication

Hyperprolactinoma can be linked to autoimmune thyroid disease also called hashimoto’s

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articl...

For full Thyroid evaluation you need TSH, FT4 and FT3 plus both TPO and TG thyroid antibodies tested. Also EXTREMELY important to test vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12

Low vitamin levels are extremely common, especially if you have autoimmune thyroid disease (Hashimoto's) diagnosed by raised Thyroid antibodies

With prolactin at that level you need further investigations to determine if you have a prolactinoma in your pituitary gland. This will need referral to an Endocrine doctor but please make sure that it one who is conversant in pituitary issues. I can help you find one if you tell me where you live. I would also suggest that you get your cortisol levels checked as well as they may be impacted by it.
