In '95, I was diagnosed with high prolactin after seeing a doc because I was lactating though not menstrating. My endocrin doc said I could never have children and put me on Parlodel. I took one pill & became so ill I refused to take any more (vomiting and severe head pain). I went several years w/out menstrating.

In '95, I was diagnosed with high prolactin after seeing a doc because I was lactating though not menstrating. My endocrin doc said I could never have children and put me on Parlodel. I took one pill & became so ill I refused to take any more (vomiting and severe head pain). I went several years w/out menstrating. After I was married and wanted a second opinion on ability to have children, I had my prolactin levels tested again. They were high and diagnostics found a pituitary tumor. I asked my doc about the Parlodel but explained I did not like the side affects. He said that's all there was. I stuck it out and eventually had a baby girl. When I decided I wanted my 2nd child, I asked another Gynocologist (female) about a Parlodel alternative. She said of course, Dostinex. It has been quite a blessing. Shrunk my tumor to almost nothing and I actually take less than prescribed (due, in part to cost but also because it's difficult to remember to take only a few times a week). There is hope for babies on Dostinex. I also take the generic now and it works fine for me.
