> Hi. I am hoping Ed or SLS can answer this one. As you know, I lactate on anti-psychotics. But I also lactated on Desipramine. What is the purpose of having raised prolactin levels? I mean, what makes these meds raise prolactin levels?

I don't know.

You might have something going on with your hypothalamus or pituitary gland. My off-the-cuff guess is that your GH response to NE is blunted, perhaps being replaced by an overexpression of insulin-like growth factor. This might trigger lactation.

Have you ever tried to use clonidine to prevent desipramine-induced lactation?
