    Abstract

    A 28-year-old woman developed osteoporosis following seven years of neuroleptic use. She presented with amenorrhea and profuse galactorrhea of four years' duration. Dual photon absorptionometry demonstrated reduced bone mineral density in the femur and spine. Serum calcium, phosphorus and alkaline phosphatase were normal. The patient was started on bromocriptine, and her bone density, serum prolactin, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, and free and total testosterone improved. No deterioration in her psychiatric condition occurred.
