I found this:
"Levels of prolactin that are below normal are not usually treated but may be indicative of a more general hypopituitarism. Low levels may also be caused by drugs such as dopamine, levodopa, and ergot alkaloid derivatives."
But since you are male, it is really not going to effect you so much that I can figure out - re periods etc. but when my prolactin was high, it really effected my mind a lot.

Low cortisol is deadly.
