Started taking the drug after finding out I had a prolactinoma (9mm) for about 6 months, and my period came back as normal after not having one for 3 months. I suddenly stopped taking the medication due to me being extremely depressed and not caring about my health and also my medical bills were sky high and the endocrinologist wanted to see me again before prescribing more so I completely stopped taking medicine and going to the specialist for over a year. I haven't gotten a period in about 6 months now. A couple weeks ago I went back to an endocrinologist and started back on the cabergoline and have been experiencing extreme nausea. It's been 9 days and I haven't gotten a period YET but I'm hoping like the first time it will. My goal is to be able to have children.

After taking it for about 4 months, I noticed a very dramatic change ... Show Full Comment

I started taking this medicine after being diagnosed with hyperprolactinemia and a pituitary adenoma. I was having highly irregular periods. My periods normalized almost immediately, and my prolactin went from 79 to 25 (high end of normal) very quickly. I already struggle with headaches, and found they increased on this medicine. After taking it for about 4 months, I noticed a very dramatic change in my moods. I was down, depressed, and having very scary thoughts about how useless life was. After sharing this with my doctor, she advised me to stop taking the drug. I felt like a different person (in a good way!) just 2-3 days after stopping. It worked to reduce my tumor size and prolactin level, but it wasn't worth the scary mental side effects for me. I am considering trying Bromocriptine, but nervous b/c most people do worse on that drug than Cabergoline.

This has been an effective drug to reduce high prolactin levels, but has anyone just gone off of it suddenly? Any side effects?
