"Although it did lower my prolactin, I had very very bad constipation that just did not go away, took half a tablet, then I stopped it because couldn’t take laxative for a month! And after stopping it I had very bad withdrawal effect, depression never experienced before...it is awful"

"Started bromocriptine 3 weeks ago, with 1 tablet at bed time to treat high prolactin. The first 3 days was mad, cos I had side effects of headaches, dizziness, fatigue and insomnia, afterwards nothing out of the ordinary. I will be on it for 3months, hoping to go for testing after 8 weeks on the drug."

"I have had an excess prolactin level for about 5 months now. My previous doctors couldn't give me the right medications and the more I waited the worse it became. I changed hospitals and this new doctor introduced me to bromocriptine and it has been a life-changing drug in my life. I usually experience most of the side effects but I know that with time I will be better."

Parlodel (bromocriptine) "My prolactin level went very high after my ovarian cyst surgery, I was prescribed bromocriptine, for the very first time in years, I experienced the ovulation discharge. But the side effects were awful, confusion, anxiety, shakiness, headache, weight loss, nausea/vomiting. Could barely eat anything. Gave me high blood pressure and panic attacks. It's very effective but they could work on the side effects"
