Yes, if : If elevated prolactin is the reason that your hormones are out of balance, Cabergoline will usually fix it. If not, it will not help.

Why cabergoline?: I'm not sure why you're taking Cabergoline unless your prolactin is elevated. If so, Cabergoline will work within days to weeks, but the dose may need to be increased after you see you lab response to the initial starting dose. If prolactin is elevated, your physician should check for possible causes, including a benign pituitary tumor.
