i was diagnosed with a prolactinoma 7 years ago.I was taking parladol for 4 years and prolactin levels retuned to normal.I have been off meds for 3 years now but my last visit to endo my levels had risen to over 2000,as i was still getting a period he did not put me back on meds,my problem is i am so tired all the time,my memory is terrible i am only 38 yrs old but feel like an old woman.My endo checked my thyroid but levels are normal,he said there is no connection with tiredness and prolactinoma,but after reading discussions on this site it seems many people feel the same as me,I feel like im going crazy nobody understands this horrible tiredness and there doesnt seem to be any help avaible.

" Hi... I also have a prolactinoma and it's considered macro... when i was first diagnosed, my prolctin level is 400++ but went down to even below normal after 2 months of taking the maximum dosage of bromo. I remember my endoc on my initial check up, she asked me if i wld get tired easily... in my case not that often... but the fact that she asked me that, i believe there's a connection between tiredness & prolactinoma. I also started working out with my cardio (jogging, jumping rope, etc...) "
