A member asked:
If 0.25 mgs of cabergoline is causing side effects, is it ok to cut it in half? my prolactin is now a 5. side effects of constipation and insomnia..
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Already at half dose: If you're taking 0.25 twice weekly and your prolactin is 5, it couldn't have been very elevated to begin with as you're still on the starting dose. You might talk w/your doctor about stopping it and rechecking the prolactin level to see if rx is still required. If it is, try an even lower dose as your level seems easy to control.
