| 5 | Mastalgia; PMS breast pain | None | I was prescribed parlodel for PMS-related breast pain. I take 25mg twice a day. It reduces my breast pain completely; 100%. I've tried scaling the dose back to one pill a day, and also have tried stopping it completely, but when I do that the breast pain returns right away. I have had no side effects at all and I can't recommend it highly enough. | F | 32 | 3 years | 1/5/2007 | 4 | Pituitary Tumor | Very sexually aggresive, severe headaches, nausea when first starting has subsided now, started with 1 pill a day, now up to 6, very warm all the time, sweat more than I used to | Working to bring the hormone levels down, but not having as much success with tumor itself unfortunately | M | 22 | 9 months | 11/19/2006 | 5 | Pituitary Tumor | At first I felt really bad, loss of appetite,stuffed nose, nausea, constipation,sadness, but eventually I went back to normal, except for NASAL CONGESTION. | It is working for me, got my leves down...good luck to you all!! | F | 32 | 1 months | 10/4/2006 | 3 | high prolactin level | hallucinations,dizziness,sleepiness,low blood pressure, nausea | I STARTED TAKING THIS DRUG TO STOP MY MILK DISCHARGE AND I FELT OKAY FOR THE FIRST TWO WEEKS THIS WEEK HAS BEEN CRAZY...REALLY TIRED...I HAVE A LOT OF NASAL CONGESTION AND VISUAL DISTURBANCES IN THE MORNING..AT NIGHT WHEN I TAKE IT I FEEL MY HEAD BURNING...I THINK ITS WORKING THE SIDE EFFECTS ARE NOT GOOD THOUGHT | F | 22 | 21 days | 10/3/2006 | 4 | BROMOCRIPTINE | I don't think I had any.

I haven't gotten back on it again. | F | 34 | 2 days | 7/17/2006 | 5 | Pitutary Tumor | Passed out the morning after I took it the first time. I started out on three a day and now I'm down to one a day. I've had two other occurances of passing out, but no other side effects. My level was at 205 and came down to withni range and continues to be in the normal range. | Works great for me! | F | 31 | 9 years | 7/3/2006 | 1 | pituitary micro andenoma | Gave me totally WEIRD concentric flashing circles in my field of vision, mostly in the morning when I first woke up, which really scared me. Also made me feel an overall malaise, but no nausea or vomiting. My doc took me off of it because of the visual disturbances. | F | 41 | 7 days | 7/3/2006 | 4 | elevated prolactin | I had almost all the side effects listed on the info sheet provided by the pharmacy; On the first day, I had severe vomiting and fainting spells. Subsequently, I experienced nausea, dizziness, fatigue, stuffed nose, orthostatic hypotension and a bad taste in the mouth during the entire course of treatment. | The drug worked very well in bringing down my prolactin from 38 to 7. | F | 28 | 4 days | 2/16/2006 | 4 | a tumor in the pituitary gland | I feel nauseated when taking it. However, after a few days of taking it the side effects go away. | It really works but the side effects are not fun. It goes away after a little while of taking it though. | F | 17 | 2 years | 2/9/2005 | 5 | high prolacting level | at first nausiated, dry nostrils, currently no side effects. | F | 42 | 14 years | 10/20/2004 | 5 | pituitary tumor; hyperprolactinemia | moderate orthostatic hypotension (instant drop in blood pressure when standing up). otherwise, NOTHING! (and that's with the perspective of long-term use!) | within a month, prolactin production normalized, ovulation & menses resumed. | F | 44 | 10 years | 9/5/2004 | 1 | To dry up breast milk | I experienced SEVERE headaches. The pain was so intense I could actually feel the shape of my brain. Every cell felt like it was going to explode. I honestly thought I was going to die. Never had I experienced pain like that. The doctor assured me it wasn't the medicine. However, it was taken off the market shorlty after 1994. | Reports came out about women taking the medicine. They were dying, going into comas, having strokes, and all complained of excutiating headaches beforehand. I've had a MRI that confirmed several scars on my brain that were likely cause from mini-strokes. Since then, I suffer every month with hormonal migraines. I firmly believe this was caused from the medicine. | F | 37 | 10 days | 1/7/2003 | 1 | pituitary tumor | like being on speed or something. very sexually aggresive and completely psychotic. Endo. told me it wasn't the med but once I stopped it, the symptoms went away. | I do no think there is enough info on the psychosis aspect of this drug. I think it can be very dangerous. | M | 45 | 2 months | 7/9/2002 | 2 | parkinsons | literally sent me mad with hallusinations etc and went in psychiatric hospital till they recognised I was suffering from drug induced phychosis, and didn't come back into the real world until I was weened off them totally. | Initially I thought it was a wonder drug which had me running around and telling every one I was cured - but as the neurologist said it had got side effects!! | M | 34 | 9 months | 1/18/2002 |
