So over the past few months I've been slightly irritated that my ability to orgasm has sort of disappeared (basically ever since I started the injections; I used to be on Androgel). My libido is high, and I can ejaculate just fine (no problems at all in the function department), but my enjoyment of it has gotten very mediocre. Nowadays it's more about relieving an urge, rather than enjoying a satisfying experience. Much like going to pee - yeah it feels good, but only because I relieved the need to pee, not because it feels amazing to pee. Get the difference?
My doc previously though that I may need to increase my DHT levels, so he added T-Prop (on top of my weekly T-Cyp) which has a higher conversion rate to DHT than T-Cyp alone. That increased my libido, but not my enjoyment.
So we are facing a new culprit - my prolactin levels, which are currently 19.5 ng/mL (range: 4.0 - 15.2 ng/mL). Granted, my prolactin levels have always been high (used to be 17 ng/mL prior to TRT, don't know why it increased since then but whatever).
He says that my current levels are not too high, so he's not too worried at this point, but it may be the reason I am not experiencing orgasmic sensations when ejaculating. So he suggested that I take half a pill of Cabergoline twice a week for the next six weeks, and report back to him on how I am feeling.
Here's the thing: each pill costs $27.50 - that's major expensive!!
Are there any other benefits to taking this pill other than increasing sexual enjoyment? I understand that it helps prevent/reduce gyno, which I am not sure whether I have or not, because I am slightly overweight, so maybe I have pseudo-gyno? No idea.
Spending close to $200 for a little over a month of more enjoyable masturbatory sessions (right now I don't have a girlfriend) sounds a little crazy to me. Are there any other benefits to this pill short or long term that may potentially deem it worthwhile despite the expensive investment?
