In this podcast, Dr. Blevins reviews the side effects of dopamine agonist drugs. These are drugs that activate certain types of cells in the brain to regulate various functions, including hormone regulation, movement, and motivation. Dr. Blevins’s discussion focuses on the drug cabergoline and its side effects, citing several research studies. This is a fascinating review of side effects you won’t want to miss, even if you don’t use or are unfamiliar with cabergoline and its use in treating prolactinomas.

Surprised there was no mention of the reason I had to stop cab – stabbing chest pain… also had extreme fatigue, weakness, pins and needles, some hot flashes, and low blood pressure….
Also stopped bromocriptine after 1 month straight of all over pins and needles and swelling in my hands to where I couldn’t write (which may have been due to lactose in meds)
Currently tittering up ropinirole to a correct dose with much less and more manageable side effects
