Too Soon To Tell
Have been on it for about 2 weeks. Tapered up over a week from half a 2.5 mg tablet to 2 tabletsday. First few days experienced fatigue nausea difficulty sleeping. The fatigue is gone. The nausea is improved. The difficulty with sleeping is sporadic. It seemed to go away but now has started up again. Exercising really hard has been helpful with the sleeping but not 100 reliable.
Considering
having different docs arguing over wether to start me on the meds or not so as yet no meds for me and feeling increasingly fobbed off and lonely and just not right
Not Working
I had similar symptoms to Cabergoline. I would have low blood pressure and dizziness and light headiness.
Not Working
My doctor put me on this while I was on Sandostatin LAR. I tried it for a month but saw zero improvment on my levels. I passed out not sure if it was from adding this medication or from the combination. But I never felt worse than when I was on the combination of the two.
Not Working
I was on bromocriptine but this did not help either.
