"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 I couldn’t take laxative for a month! And after stopping it, I had a very bad withdrawal effect, depression I never experienced before... it is awful."

"Started bromocriptine 3 weeks ago, with 1 tablet at bedtime to treat high prolactin. The first 3 days were mad, because I had side effects of headaches, dizziness, fatigue, and insomnia, afterwards, nothing out of the ordinary. I will be on it for 3 months, 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."

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."

"I took bromocriptine to reduce prolactin levels in 2020. I struggled with nausea and excessive fatigue, however, the results were worth it. My prolactin dropped from over 2000, and I conceived. I recently resumed as I wanted a second baby and was successful after 2 months on bromocriptine. It is really worth trying if you have a pituitary adenoma causing high prolactin."
