Although caber (or other dopamine agonist) might be required to lower high prolactin, IMHO it shouldnt be used when prolactin is normal.
Understand that cabergoline acts directly on the pituitary gland, main aplications are to reduce prolactin to stop lactation on post pregancy women (very short use), treatment of pituitary tumors (adenomas) and other pituitary problems, which include acromegaly. In acromegaly the role of caber it is to reduce both prolactin and IGF-1. Yes, the pituitary gland is responsible for the prodution of HGH in our bodies and caber is prescribed to reduce it, which for us might not be the best thing.
Cabergoline in the treatment of acromegaly: a study in 64 patients
Some ppl, including myself, have no noticiable side effects, and yes I have even used as sex aid although always for very short time, but to use it when not really needed might cause, even if no side effects noticed, a decrease in serum IGF-1 levels.
Kel, your doc prescribes it to control your adenoma?
