Who else suffers from extreme fatigue, some dizziness and a little nausea/heartburn the day after taking cabergoline?

[headtrainer]

Do any of you guys feel horrible the day after you take cabergoline? I’ve been taking cabergoline at night-time twice a week for 12 years. I still wake up feeling like crap. Extreme fatigue, some dizziness, a little heartburn/nausea, and a lowered appetite. When my endocrinologist first put me on it I lost about 10 lbs in 6 weeks. At around week 6 my sex drive improved dramatically. I continue to take cabergoline twice a week to maintain a good sex drive and healthy prolactin levels but I always feel bad the following day.

No I definitely don’t, you get a lot of funky side effects from things. Is something up?

 

[McSwickles]

I’ve always been very sensitive to all drugs. It runs on my moms side of the family.

What dose are you taking?

I used to take .25 mgs twice a week. About 5 years ago my endocrinologist bumped up my dosage to .5mgs twice a week to better keep my prolactin levels where he thought they should be.

Stupid shit

Have you ever taken pharm grade cabergoline?

 

[Ironman 580]

what is it with you constantly talking about your sex drive

So many guys hung up on sex drive on these forums - wish it was strict bodybuilding-guys takin cialis etc for pumps in gym they say - that’s pathetic - save the cialis for me when things are gonna go down for gods sake

Since I am so sensitive to various drugs and hormones; many can significantly reduce my sex drive. So I have to be careful. I didn’t want to get to personal but I’m married to a nympho. I’ve got to be able to perform sexually or she’s not happy. A happy wife equals a happy life. Now you know...

You seem to respond exactly opposite of what you should on most drugs for some reason. Question, if you feel like shit the day after, why would you continue to take the drug for 12 years? Secondly, I don't know what all you are taking in terms of AAS, but I can't imagine that your prolactin levels are not bottomed out unless you are normally producing a ton of prolactin.

Is it that serious? You make it sound like if you have an off night then she might do something drastic....

I tried it many years ago when it became popular for turning you into a sex God LOL. But just as you, I felt like shit. I was like a zombie at the gym. Severely fatigued, dizzy, lethargic, etc. Of course I stopped it and never tried it again. The one I tried was pharma Dostinex.

I can’t tell that cialis gives me a better pump in the gym at all.

You describe typical side effects of cabergoline.

If you had a prolactinoma at one point that required an Endo to prescribe caber then you should know that prolactinomas shrink over time with dopamine agonist treatment and cessation of drug therapy can usually occur in 6-18 months.

Might be time to titrate down to .25mg 1/week and then go off. 250mg l-dopa/day for a few weeks afterwards would be fine.

Other things that can help, 100-150mg b6/ day and 20-30mg mast prop per day.

Using B6 to lower prolactin is like shooting a dinosaur with a BB gun. It doesn’t work. Been there and tried that. I do NOT have a tumor in my pituitary gland that causes my prolactin levels to increase. The increase in prolactin according to my endocrinologist is caused by long-term use of narcotic pain meds I’ve taken for years due to chronic neck and back pain stemming from multiple surgeries in both areas. In fact, the reason my testosterone levels plummeted to 280 at the age of 27 and I had to start TRT is because the narcotics were blocking my pituitary gland from producing testosterone. Narcotic pain meds are hard on the entire body. I also have to take muscle relaxers from advanced facet joint arthritis. I take the least amount of pain meds I can to just take the edge off the pain. Narcotics also cause chronic covstipation, fatigue, and sexual dysfunction.

Man just in general, fuck off. You always have something negative to say. You constantly talk shit about anybody who doesn’t fit into your narrow definition of who should be online talking about bodybuilding.

Just...fuck

Thank you Matsuo!

Every time I try small doses of mast prop my prostate swells and I have trouble urination. I’m extremely sensitive to that drug. But low dosages of Proviron work well for me.

There’s more to bodybuilding than just trying to get big. I used to get big taking test, Tren and anadrol or test, deca and dbol. And toss in 8-10 of Pharma grade GH daily. But now I’m 55 years old. My goal is no longer to step on stage or be massive. My current goals are to remain healthy, look good, feel good, and have awesome sex frequently with my wife. I’ve been blessed with a great marriage. She’s on low doses of various hormones as well and her libido is very high. That’s more important to us as a couple at this point in our lives than competing in shows.
