Dopamine agonists like pramipexole, requip, bromocriptine, and cabergoline reduce prolactin levels. According to some studies they do it without affecting the efficacy of the other meds and sometimes improve the other meds. But from what I hear their side effects of somnolence are troublesome for some people.

Pretreatment with depakote 400mg was shown to prevent the expected prolactin increase of amisulpride.

Increased prolactin levels from some meds automatically reduce themselves after several months. But I'm sure that is a situation of 'your mileage may vary'.

For natural treatments, I don't know. I've heard chasteberry is a D2 agonist.
