The effects of bromocriptine on neuroleptic-induced endocrinological disturbances (amenorrhea, galactorrhea and impotence) were investigated. Bromocriptine (5.0-7.5 mg/day) was administered to psychiatric patients receiving neuroleptics and developing hyperprolactinemia. The following results were obtained. Menses recurred in 7 of 10 patients with amenorrhea. A decrease in lactation appeared in 5 of 6 patients with galactorrhea. A significant increase in the serum levels of testosterone was observed after 8 weeks of the treatment in male patients. (N = 6). There was no remarkable deterioration in regard to the psychotic symptoms in schizophrenic patients. (N = 7). In non-schizophrenic patients (N = 9), a significant improvement was observed in regard to "somatic concern" (in Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale).
