title: Sexual dysfunction associated with neuroleptic-induced hyperprolactinemia improves with reduction in prolactin levels.
abstract: We attempt to demonstrate the association between neuroleptic-induced hyperprolactinemia and sexual dysfunction in schizophrenic patients treated with prolactin-elevating antipsychotics. Our findings indicate that sexual function improved with euprolactinemia in patients switched from treatment with prolactin-elevating antipsychotics to olanzapine.
