Studies have reported varied elevations in basal circulating prolactin measures with SSRI use – often minimal to moderate increases in prolactin levels that are not necessarily classified as hyperprolactinemia (Emiliano and Fudge, 2004; Molitch, 2005; Madhusoodanan et al., 2010; Trenque et al., 2011). Here, PRL is linked to hyperprolactinemia.
