    I’ve had my dosage of Cabergoline adjusted a number of times. Each variance gives me sharp pain to my head that can go off and on for a few weeks until my body gets used to the new dose.  That being said, this drug is worth its weight in gold to me for how it’s improved my life.

    Hi there I would recommend going slow and then adding until prolactin level lower nausea is the biggest thing I find.  Watch out for diareaha as well.
