For Hyperprolactinemia "I have been taking Dostinex/cabergoline for 14 years. The main constant side effect is headaches. It feels like an ice pick is stabbing me in my head for a couple of seconds, and then it goes away just as quickly as it started. It only happens maybe a couple of times a month. I also find I get tired more easily and sometimes need to rest during the day. In addition, my vision has worsened. I stopped the medicine for about a year now, and I'm getting dizzy quite often lately, and my vision is worse. I fear my tumor has grown and need to see my endocrinologist again. God bless all."

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 "My mood changed in a blink, felt so happy for a while, then I would feel depressed again... It made me feel tired during the day."
