Yup u r Right Buddy GOOD CO RELATION ME007

Amiodarone, an iodinated benzofuran with similar structure to thyroxine, has side effects of photosensitivity, hyperthyroidism (up to 16%), pulmonary fibrosis, skin pigmentation (blue nail coloration), and corneal deposits. It may induce QT prolongation.

Hypothyroidism--->Increased TRH--->unknown mechanism-Increased Prolactin--->Amenorrhea

you are right.. I read that increased TRH probably inhibits dopamine in hypothalamus thus it will cause a high prolactin level .. (Med-Study 2005)
