A member asked:

I havr elevated prolactin levels, i am currently taking bromocriptine, have started feeling lightheaded and my period is 5 days late, please advise?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bromocriptine: Do a pregnancy test. Lightheadedness is a common side effect of bromocriptine. Check in with your doctor. Cabergoline is an alternative with fewer side effects.
