Another reference is: J. Alving, "Serum prolactin levels are elevated also
after pseudo-epileptic seizures", Seizure 1998; 7(2): 85-9. This article
answers the question with this sentence at the end of the abstract: "The
rather limited discriminative power of prolactin measurements makes it of
questionable value in discerning between epileptic and pseudo-epileptic
seizures."
