I got a new doctor and he sent me to an endocrinologist and found out that my prolactin levels were elevated to 56, had an MRI and noted a 5mm microadnoma on my pituatary gland, been on this med for 2mths and my levels are back in normal range. Hopefuly I will be able to get pregnant soon. Say a prayer for me after reading this THANKS!!!!

I had a pituitary tumor removed in 2003. No period since. I didn't really care because it was nice not having a period, until my hubby and I wanted to try to have kids. Prolactin levels were very high (over 200) and I've been taking this medicine for about 6 months, now taking 2 pills a week.

Prolactin levels were very high (over 200) and I've been taking this medicine for about 6 months, now taking 2 pills a week. I saw the doctor after 3 months and prolactin level was just over 20, doctor wants it to be under 3. I go back this week to have it retaken. I can definitely notice that I am having some hormonal changes, I am getting some mild acne (which I have never had), gained 15 pounds in 2 months, and I feel unusually cranky. I can handle all these things if it results in me getting pregnant!!!

This meds brought my prolatin level down from 150 to 13 in one month. However every now and then I am experiencing morning erection for 4+ hours. Could this be a side effect of the dosage being to strong?

I have been on this medicine since 2006 and it has kept my prolactin level in check.I take it Mondays and Thursdays. Before taking it my level was at 58 and when I saw my dr 2 weeks ago it was at 9. It does at times make me sick to my stomach so I take it right before I go to sleep. My only complaint is how expensive it is.

The medication lowered my prolactin levels from 55 to 3 in 4 weeks...so for that it was excellent, but the side effects...oh the side effects were horrible: always tired, no energy, almost fainted twice, super low blood pressure, depression, no desire to do anything all day :-( The worst part is that I got used to it....so it wasn't until being off the medication for 1 week that I actually beg ...
