It worked but i hated this medicine. It made me so sick. You have to take everyday or twice everyday. I couldnt think i didnt want to eat i hurt all over and was sick to my stomach all day long. But it worked. When my tumor came back after i quit taking it i refused this medicine and went to dostinex. I took 2.5 mg of bromocriptine a day.
