dostinex (i think) problems

Ton1333 · Aug 5, 2005

ive been taking .5mg dostinex every few days to help with some prolactin problems. while i was taking it i noticed i felt extremly weird and had problems sleeping. its now been 3-4 days since i last took any and today is the absolute worst day yet, i havent slept more than 2-3 hours a night for th past two days, and have been having weird thoughts and dreams and have been constantly battling depression, my head feels like its been hit with a shovel and my back is killing me as well. it has been quite some time since i have felt anywhere near this bad. Im only on test and t3, so unless its something else it has to be the dostinex. Has anyone else had any of these problems or can offer any advice about whats going on?
Thanks in advance

I've never used dostinex so I'm unsure about it's side effects I would stop using it immediately and see if you start feeling better. I've always had a rule of thumb, if something makes me sick and feel like crap, I'll stop using it. Sometimes the negatives outway the postives with different products. Bodybuilding to me is about not only looking healthy, but feeling healthy too.
I'd be curious to know what your T3 dose is and how long you've been on it.
I've had some crazy sides before when I cranked the T3 too high.

it very well could be the t3 as well, i have upped the dose to around 60mcg ed, i normally dwell in the 12.5 25mcg range, which i know is low but for some odd reason it works well for me, i wouldent imagie that t3 could do this though...

I know for myself, I've found that 25-50mcg of T3 is about my max. Any higher than that and I've had problems like heavy heart palpitations, periods of insomnia and then chronic fatigue. I also feel as though it messes with me mentally making me angry and grouchy. At the lower doses like you mentioned (12.5-25mcg) I see no negative effects and only positive results.

its been about a whole day since my last t3 dose and im feeling a bit better, but the real test will be if i can sleep tonight.....im starting to believe it the synergystic effect of the high t3 and dostinex

Updates?

Please keep us updated - do you still feel "wierd" off the Dostinex but on T3?

I just started Dostinex 3 days ago, and am on 100 mcg T3 right now, and have been having insomnia problems, but nothing much worse than usual (due to light tren and a little too much caffiene I suspect).

I know common dostinex dosage is around .5 mg every 3 days or so, but I did .5 last 2 days to "front load" a little- probably not smart.

Any more advice/experiences would be welecomed. Thanks!

im feeling fine now,mthe dostinex alone caused someof the propblems i believe , however i am not able to handle much t3 (anything much over 25mcg) and the two together caused me some serious problems,. ive asked around and it dosent seem to me anyone has had the type of reaction i did, so i would imagine ull be be fine

That dopamine agonists can cause cognitive impairment is well known. Couple that with T3, which also often causes mental effects, and neuroactive steroids it's not strange at all that you had problems.

Personally, from my reading, I don't believe in using dopamine agonists for gyno and such. What did you mean by "prolactin problems"?
