For Hyperprolactinemia "I started to use bromocriptine on May 13, 2019, which was for hyperprolactinemia. Prescribed by a doctor, half a tablet before bedtime. The next day, I had a fever and nasal blockage. I stopped then until the fever had gone off. Experienced fatigue and occasional fever before bedtime. A little bit of constipation. Going to move to a full tablet by the fourth week of May 2019."

For Hyperprolactinemia "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."

For Hyperprolactinemia "I know how difficult it is to pass the first 2-3 days of taking bromocriptine. I felt unbalanced as I couldn't stand properly because I was literally swinging. I felt nausea and constipation, difficulty in breathing, and a clogged nose at night (I woke up a couple of nights because I couldn't breathe). But it was totally worth it. My results are fantastic. This medication treated my high prolactin level and greenish discharge from breasts. Even my period became shorter and much easier to pass. What I would like to recommend is that make sure you're not taking a high dose from the beginning, take 1/4 for like 2-4 days and increase by 1/2 after and take a full pill if prescribed. I know it's not easy to pass the time while you're on it, but it's totally worth it. After a week, I forgot about the side effects and was living a normal life. Right now, it's my second month of bromocriptine and I expect to be totally cured. Good luck!"
