Dostinex: sides/negatives?

[Maetenloch]

I've tried dostinex twice and had bad experiences both times. It put me into a VERY depressed state for about 72 hours and almost completely eliminated my appetite. And I didn't notice any beneficial sexual effects either. Most people seem to have good resuts from it, unfortunately I'm not one of them.

LC

I was taking 0.5mg each time. I had planned on taking it E3D, but I felt the side effects within hours of the first dose.

It's actually a very serious drug and has a lot of serious side effects. Has the potential to cause a complete change in personality and severe depression.
Research its side effects before you take it.

this drug is over-rated for anything (sexual aid??) other than, lowering excess prolactin

Do you happen to have any links to that specific data? I am now taking it for restless legs syndrome. I would like to understand the impact longer term and also at higher doses when I occasionally need to keep prolactin in check as well.

Yup, same here, except that it only lasted for about two days. I'm almost certain is has something to do with dostinex being a dopamine antagonist.

That said, I am prone to depression and have been on meds for seven years, so my experience obviously won't be that of everyone.

I took a drug a long time ago to get to sleep and the stuff gave me tarded dyskinesia it was hell.

I see dostinex is a dopamine antagonist not sure about the actual mechanism and what possible negative ramifications it may have.

its tardive dyskinesia , but "tarded" is more descriptive of the visual result I guess lol (if that was an intentional malaprop, you should be writing comedy )

and Dostinex is the devil for me - severe depression, zero appetite, lethargy - not alot of fun to be around. ask a few ex's.

Never thought I'd see the word "malaprop" on this board. lol
