New Message on Pituitary Chat Bromocriptine or Parlodel? Reply   Reply to Sender   Recommend Message 12 in Discussion From: LongRider27 I was on Bromo for over a year, and as of about 2 weeks ago have been off of it. (for a diagnositc, will go back on it at the end of the month.) When I stopped taking it, my dose was 12.5 mgs. Had been up to 15mgs, but could not tolerate it-very lethagric with weight gain. Felt much better, more energy, brighter when reduced to 12.5, but............this drug creates terrible terrible mood swings (depression, emotinally distressed, distracted, crying jags, and once in a while, feeling good and serene) as a side effect for me. To the point that I was becomming concerned and thinking about asking my doc for an anti-depressant. I just want to have a more cosistant, non distressed mood. While still having some mood swings (though much less) without the drug (totaly drug free at the moment) it has really shown me just how bad the mood swings are. When I first started meds I took Dostinex, but because my doc kept increasing my dose I got priced out the market even with health insurance, so switched to Bromo. Sorry, can't really remember what side effects from the Dostinex. I did start having periods after starting treatment, but don't remember how long after starting. Have not had any problems with them on Bromo. The side effects of this drug are so varied. Did have some nausea and dizziness, but they were minimal for me. You'll just have to try it to see what works. Would love to be able to just take a small daily dose!
