For Hyperprolactinemia "I used Dostinex 2 years ago for a few months. I had nausea and vomiting the first few days, but I continued taking it for a year and the side effects went away. My prolactin went from just over 200 down to 94. It also helped me lose weight. I had to stop taking it because it was too expensive. I started taking it again 2 weeks ago and the only side effect I have is mild headaches."

For Hyperprolactinemia "After getting nauseated and not being able to function well on the other two Dopa agonists I tried, no nausea and no noticeable dizziness on this. Immediately upon starting cabergoline, I slept like a baby. It was a very noticeable change. Then, after a few months, I became an insomniac. The other persistent things were that I developed a stuffy nose when my dose was due and for about a day after taking it (every four days). I was also more tired the day after I took it (always at night). A good side effect was being able to drink very little with full effect. My temper was better than it was prior. It may have boosted my libido slightly. Eventually, I got my dose down to about an eighth of a pill, then a couple of months ago, I lost my bottle. Withdrawal was sleeping incredibly poorly for about four to five nights. I’m not lactating, as I did every time when stopping it over the years, so maybe middle age is working for me. Cheaper in Canada, but recommend you get brand Dostinex only."

For Hyperprolactinemia "I used it for almost a year for the treatment of prolactinoma. After six months, I did an MRI, and the tumor is smaller, but the effects are terrible: fatigue, sick stomach, foggy mind, depression. I do not know what to say. I am very tired, I do not know how it will go like this. Next month, I have an appointment with my endo, and I will say that I can't use it anymore."
