    I take it at night and avoid the dizziness, nausea, etc...that come from taking the drug. It works well for me Published: March 03, 2008 ::

    I had to change to taking the meds at night to prevent some of the symptoms--i.e.sleepiness, dizziness, congestion...I have been on it for about 8 yrs now, and my physician is very happy with the levels (lowered ;evels). I was given the option for surgical removal of the pituitary tumor, but since there was not a 100% success rate, I chose the oral meds. Published: January 08, 2009 ::

    This drug is working wonderful for me. My prolatin levels have decresed and I have no further side effects from this medication, although I was quite sleepy after the initial first few doses. Once everything leveled out I was fine. Hope this helps. :) Published: October 20, 2008 ::

    I have had no noticeable side effects from this medication. My doctor gradually increased dosages so that I could ease into it. My prolactin levels have dropped from 888 after surgery to 4 in a period of two months. Published: September 03, 2008 ::

    This medication hit me hard. I had nausea every day, and often a bloated stomach. I was miserable! A close friend who is a clinical pharmarcist recco'd trying the generic brand of Dostinex. At first one of my docs was hesitant, saying there's not enough research on it, but it has had "B" rating, which means there's been a lot of studies on it. I'm going to try the generic brand, and say goodbye to the horrid Parlodel. Good luck to you. Published: February 05, 2009 ::

    The medication has lowered my prolactin level but have to take at night to limit nausea. Also sometimes feel dizzy and lightheaded. Have constant drainage from the nose. Unfortunately I need to take this medication to prevent the tumor from coming back. I also need to be on an anti depressant but for some reason everything I take seems to give me mind fog especially if the drug contains an anti anxiety agent. I'm not sure if there's a relationship between the parlodel and these drugs that is giving me a bad reaction. Published: January 22, 2009 ::

    my gynae prescribed me with 250gm clomid + parlodel oral for 5 days on my 5th-9th day period to help me conceived my 2nd one. parlodel is taken during dinner time as advice by my doctor to reduce the likelihood of nausea. i've not experienced any side effects from taking parlodel and clomid together. glad to know that i'm currently ovulating and hope to get pregnant real soon :) Published: June 04, 2009 ::

    Have been on this for a month but haven't tested prolactin levels yet, not sure if it's worked but do have headaches, stuffed up nose and feel pretty sick so I don't like it too much. Published: October 28, 2008 ::
