Hyperprolactinemia
"I have a macro non functioning pituitary adenoma which is causing compression of my pituirtary stalk &quot;stalk effect&quot; which causes increases in prolactin  blood levels. My endo put me on this to reduce the &#039;stalk effect&#039; I&#039;m suffering from my macro adenoma. My crushing headaches have weakened, the lactating stopped and my period is back on schedule. However the side effects are extreme. They last about 5 days after taking my dose for the week. The nausea is unbearable, causing me to take a drug for that at $104/mth as I spent all day vomiting. I have what I describe as a feeling of being drunk and hungover all at once. I can&#039;t drive, but for two days a week. So tired, dizzy, weak, low blood pressure, flu like. I am hoping for surgery soon, but I live so remotely logistics make it difficult, as I&#039;m 13 hours from the specialists. I rated a 5 as the headaches were horrid, but so are the side effects."
