Prolactin is a hormone and any drug which acts on the CNS can affect hormone levels - either by intent, or as an unintended side effect. CNS stimulants often increase dopanine levels .. and dopamine inhibits the secretion of prolactin (which controls lactation).
What hormone is responsible for the release of breast milk?

What triggers labor and milk release during birth?

What anterior pituitary hormones stimulates milk production?
The hormone prolactin will cause milk production.
What are the functions of prolactin hormones?
In females, prolactin tell the breasts to start producing milk (but it is another hormone, oxytocin, that actually causes the milk to be excreted). In both sexes, prolactin also inhibits LH and FSH release, which inhibit estrogen/progesterone secretion and ovulation in females, and testosterone secretion and sperm production in males. Overproduction of prolactin (like from a tumor or a dopamine antagonist) can cause infertility and decreased sex drive in both sexes.

What are the functions of prolactine?
In females, prolactin tell the breasts to start producing milk (but it is another hormone, oxytocin, that actually causes the milk to be excreted). In both sexes, prolactin also inhibits LH and FSH release, which inhibit estrogen/progesterone secretion and ovulation in females, and testosterone secretion and sperm production in males. Overproduction of prolactin (like from a tumor or a dopamine antagonist) can cause infertility and decreased sex drive in both sexes.
Is breatfeeding a reliable contraceptive?
Yes. Lactation is caused by a hormone called Prolactin. This hormone inhibits the release of GnRH from your hypothalamus which prevents the release of FSH/LH from your anterior pituitary. The result is a lack of follicle (egg) development. HOWEVER, it is important to note that most doctors would NOT advise using breast feeding as a primary means of contraception. It is not 100% effective and pregnancy can still result.
When does an increase in the hormone prolactin occur?
