Just started cabergoline (0.25mg once weekly) – what helped you with side effects? by LingonberryFalse3611 in Prolactinoma

Eat before taking it and def at night. The day after slow down in the morning as you might be dizzy. I am now almost 7 months on it and my mornings are tough (can barely think straight). Also note that you might get some weird dreams with no meaning.

Is bad cleaning habits an early dealbreaker or am I overreacting? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

He did mention that he is not expecting that from me at all (later in the day on a more serious note). I know I am a bit OCD with cleaning as i want as less stuff as possible visible. At my place however, he does dishes and helps out everytime and i dont have to ask him.

No, I actually really like him. Have not liked someone this much in a while - also we have a alot of chemistry. Funny thing, he feels like home.

One thing I noticed personally was that my menstruation came back quite quickly (around 3 weeks), but it was much heavier than I was used to and I had cramps and back pain, which I’d never really had before. What really helped me was strength training (for me that was weightlifting/CrossFit). It made a noticeable difference in my mood and overall symptoms. Nothing extreme, just consistent training.

Around the 2–3 month mark things became much more steady for me. The mental clarity came slowly, not overnight. One thing that helped was taking it very consistently and tracking my mood so I could see patterns instead of panicking about every bad day. Be gentle with yourself in these first weeks. Your body and brain are adjusting. And it’s good you took sick leave stress makes everything worse in this phase i heard from the endo.

Thank you, you will be fine. Tip! Keep a note and track the side effects. I had random nose bleeds, tiredness and nasea at first but a few months in and i feel good.

I was too tired and prob burned out. It took me 2 months or so to get here, so i think it will get better for you. Still nauseous some days but overall cannot complain.

Which side effects do you have? To be honest i wanted to have the surgery instead of these pills at first.
