Yes, this can effect it. I have bipolar, my period pretty much stopped when I took the antipsychotic Risperdal. It stopped because it increased my level of Prolactin. Are you taking antipsychotics? This is a common side effect of them. It is very common to start taking medications and continue getting your period regularly and eventually stop getting it. This is what happened with the Risperdal. My psychiatrist said that that is because it builds in your system and eventually effects your hormones. I would really talk to your doctor, I can't answer your question without knowing what you are on (even if I did I couldn't give a professional opinion - all I know is my experience). Your period should come back if the meds are what is causing it and you change medications - mine did, and now they are perfectly regular like before.

YES! GO SEE A DOCTOR!
