For Hyperprolactinemia "I have been on this medication for 30 years to control a prolactin-secreting pituitary macroadenoma. I chose medication over surgery, and today I take a maintenance dose of 2.5 mg twice a day. In the beginning, I had severe headaches and nausea, but the side effects stopped after a couple of months. After two months of treatment, my tumor had shrunk from 13 mm to undetectable on a CT scan. Parlodel can be a game changer for those that can tolerate it."

For Hyperprolactinemia "I have been taking Parlodel now for 2 months. At first, dizziness and headaches, then they passed. I have also noticed changes in my cycle, it has become more normal-28 days from 35/40 days. I now notice my ankles and feet swelling now after 2 months on Parlodel, but what is funny about it occurs during my cycle."

For Hyperprolactinemia "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."
