This drug doesn't really do anything for me. So Doctors say that it "stable" which just means that its no longer growing.

have had ovarian cysts and thyroid level is low.

The I say somewhat is because I did see my periods more but not on the normal 28 day cycle. Even with the med I will skip a month.

Severe Nausea, fatigue, headaches, occasional vomitting, fogginess, dizziness and lack of sex drive. This medication has brought my prolactin levels down to normal, but the side effects are horrible. I feel LOST all the the and I am not myself. It is awful. My head feels "empty" at times. I take this on Tuesday evenings and when I get up on Wednesday Mornings it is hard for me to even take a shower. I suffer.

Levels have reduced so far taken 1mg twice per week (high dosage I think?), had 3 cycles since none for almost 12 months, each month getting shorter :)

I've used Bromocriptine and Dostinex. I can't be off this medication for more then a day or my symptoms come back quickly. Seems to be working.

I have been on this medication long term and it has helped somewhat. My level is still high at around 60-70.

I took it on & off for years....more off then on...but last september (my b-day) I found out my tumor shrunk! The doctors think it was b/c of the dostinex but I dont think I used it enough for it to do anything.
Somewhat Helpful
I felt better early on but headaches returned (Not as bad). Fighting mood swings and depression also some behavior that I would call strange.
