Anyone on Cabergoline to lower prolactin?

If you have lex sex drive and high prolactin, why wouldn’t you use this drug which lowers prolactin?

My doc said there are prolactin lowering medications, and, that, I could go on Amisulpride. If I get high prolactin, I can take drugs for them.

I don’t understand why so many people here don’t have sex drives. Why don’t they just take a prolactin lowering drug?

Here is research to confirm what my doctor was saying:

Effects of cabergoline on hyperprolactinemia, psychopathology, and sexual functioning in schizophrenic patients - PubMed (nih.gov)

It baffles me that no-one here takes a prolactin lowering drug when they don’t have sex drive.

Not heard of it before, good to know about it

Good question, I had never heard of, or been offered, any drug that might help in that respect.

Yeah i never knew either. I guess they dont want the szs mating. Lol

Cabergoline is a dopamine agonist. Does the opposite of what APs do, so that is why I think it is not taken by sz ppl very often.

I know bodybuilders sometimes take this stuff to combat elevated prolactin, and I’ve heard it can cause an increase in risk-taking behaviour. Similar to the warning that comes with abilify, which also lowers prolactin.

Not saying it won’t be an effective medication, but it could be wise to proceed with caution.
