Comment:
While on this medication, I was very ill. I began to have fainting spells. It was determined that this medication was the cause of the fainting spells. It lowered my prolactin 15 points in a 6 month period. I began taking a different drug (Dostinex) and am doing so much better. My prolactin levels are almost where they should be. This is after only 3 months of being on the Dostinex!

Comment:
Nausea & diziness to start with, but this goes away after a few days. I have used this drug for the past ten years (except when I am pregnant/breastfeeding which has been twice)and have had no problems.
