I understand. Since I stopped losing hair last year when I reduced the cab, it makes sense to suspect it. However, I'm now taking about 1/3 the amount that caused that hair loss, and my hair has been fine in the intervening year. I'm not sure why suddenly it would start up again. Can I...

I'm 54 and have been on anastrozole and cabergoline for over a year. I've been treating high E2 and prolactin. I started with anastrozole and then, after seeing my E2 come down, added the cabergoline. I've normally got a good head of hair, but starting cab immediately caused noticeable hair...

First, I couldn't get anyone to provide feedback on my latest labs. Now my thread with the history of my lab results since last year has gotten trashed by the new forum, which apparently can't handle tables. Very disappointing.

Sorry, I assumed you must be on an AI. Men with high BMI and/or blood glucose can have low prolactin. If these are true for you, then lifestyle changes might help (and they'll help you feel better overall and possibly bring your other hormones in line). The neurotransmitter dopamine...

I agree with this based on my own experience. A bit less AI should move your E2 to the low to mid 20s, which could help your symptoms. I would still focus on the low prolactin as the #1 culprit, though. It's dropped again and these near-zero levels will make you feel crappy.

At the risk of repeating a lot of what's in the other thread, here you go: - I'm not using T. Only an AI and cab. - I've been using the AI a little over a year, the cab a few months less. - I suspect the E2 number because it's dropped by 10 without any change to my AI. Not sure if other...

I cut my dose of cabergoline. Trying to optimize my hormones has been a real balancing act. Frequent blood tests and adjustments are a must, and I haven't been doing blood tests often enough.

I'd appreciate any input on a couple of questions that came up with my latest labwork. Details are here: https://www.excelmale.com/forum/showthread.php?11560-Latest-blood-work-with-a-couple-of-questions&p=115366#post115366 Specifically, are my E2 and prolactin numbers accurate? I have reason...

I'm not on TRT, but I've been having issues related to high E2 and prolactin. I can tell you from experience that if your prolactin goes off the bottom of the scale you'll feel bad. I inadvertently drove my prolactin down below 1.0 using cabergoline. Felt great while it was coming down, but...

Update and question about new lab results Since March, I've been on half the previous dose of cabergoline, now dosing at 0.0625mg E3D. I lowered my dose because my prolactin had gone nearly to zero. I continue to dose anaztrozole at 0.225mg E2D. Latest numbers (most recent first): Range...

I've been taking Cab for about a year now. I started it because my prolactin was several points over the top end of the nominal range. Plus I was interested in the effects on libido. It's definitely a strong drug. I think anyone taking it needs regular prolactin tests. At one point I had been...

I'm thinking I'll go to 50% of the current dose. I dose E3D on the caber to match the half-life of the drug, so I'm thinking I'll skip one dose and then start dosing at 50% which should provide a smooth transition. Looks like caber is soluble in alcohol, so I'll try taking it in solution going...

Have had good luck with these guys for anastrozole and other things.

I'm sorry to hear you're having continuing issues. I can't advise you on your dosage, but I can say from experience taking a beta blocker that it works as an anti-palpitation medicine. It's possible that you were prone to palpitations and coming off of the beta blocker is allowing them to...
