Dostinex Reviews
Working / Worked
It worked but I didnt like the side effects it caused long bleeding and I eventually had blood clots and on warfarin forever now.
Working / Worked
It seems to be working. I had only been taking it once a week but the doctor just increased to Two a week.
Working / Worked
Prolactin levels have decreased.
Working / Worked
Fewer side effects than with Parlodel. Main side effect is being tired the next morning.
Working / Worked
My prolactin level is within normal limits and my cycle has returned. I am still being monitored by endocrinology to ensure it is still working. The side effects have diminished and I do not feel so bad. I am not sure if my body is used to the medication or my mind is. However, I still feel very tired most of the time, especially the day after I take the cabergoline.
Working / Worked
I take .5 twice a week. It is doing its job I guess. If I dont take it for 1 or 2 times I can really tell and so can everyone else.
Working / Worked
For high prolactin associated with PCOS worked great
Working / Worked
Tumour has reduced somewhat in size and the prolactin has normalised. May be the reason for my worsening symptoms though.
Working / Worked
Currently taking 0.25 mg of cabergoline. No more nasty side affects.
Working / Worked
