My husband had much less side effects with
Norprolac..available in Canada...give it a try before surgery b/c once they do
trauma to your pituitary gland...there is no going back...then you could be on
all kinds of meds...forever!

My endo just put me on cabergoline last week, and today was
my second day taking it. I am currently supposed to take 5mg
twice a week for the first week, then a full 1mg twice weekly
after that. The first day I took it I was doing okay, but today
I took my second .5mg dose. I am at work right now and I feel
miserable. I am so dizzy I feel like I have to grab hold of
something to keep from falling over. I am nauseous in a way I
haven't really felt before--I'm too nauseous to eat or do much
but sip some water. My head is killing me, but I've had
headaches before taking the meds. I feel like I've just gotten
off a really crappy roller coaster.
When I first found out about my 6mm tumor my PCP said I'd
need surgery right away. The endo and the neurosurgeon say that
I need to take the meds and don't need to worry about
surgery--but I almost feel like I'd rather go that route.
I don't know if any of you feel the same way I do, but I
hate being experimented on and I really don't like the
uncertainty of "let's try the meds" and obviously I don't like
what I'm feeling. Trading one set of side effects for another,
except I feel like these are worse! I almost wish I could just
get the surgery and be done with all of it.
There are so many posts about the cabergoline/dostinex that
I feel like there should be a separate section dedicated to
it!
Unfortunately I can't go home sick (otherwise I would), but
I just hate feeling like this...I don't feel like myself. I
keep
getting confused, my emotions are out of whack.
Has anyone else just decided to say screw taking meds and
go right for the surgery? I need some advice on
this...
