cabergeoline as ai

[hfbjr]

Just curious if anyone is using cabergeoline as part of their treatment/ai?I was at a clinic today and the doctor stated that is what he prescribes his patients.i might be spelling it wrong.thoughts?

Cabergoline is not any form of an AI. It is used to lower Prolactin in patients where their Prolactin levels are elevated.

I've been doing some Google searches on it.im just puzzled why he would prescribe it too me.i don't even see prolactin listed on my labs. Hmmmm

 

[hfbjr]

Thank you for the response ero.

I'd be very wary of that doctor/clinic.

Yea it made uneasy/nervous.i declined the instructions /tutoring on how to inject myself, and gave back the scripts.

For guys with elevated Prolactin - which typically causes a loss of libido, Cabergoline in small amounts helps them get their libido back by bringing the Prolactin levels down. If your Prolactin is already at a healthy level though, it doesn't make good medical sense.

I asked for arimidex,but was offered the caber stuff.i suggested biweekly doses after the initial suggestion by the doc to do once weekly.he was however open to twice weekly.

Why do you assume you need anastrozole? In the absence of labs confirming high E2 that is not a protocol you should be following.

I'm estrogen sensitive. I've suffered from it my entire life.had surgery in 2006.

Also,thank you everyone for the responses.its fascinating and so helpful.

Yeah, caber isn't going to work as an AI. I'd get the doctor to clarify this, and/or just get a 2nd opinion from another physician that has some long-term experience in this area.

Yea,I've been to two separate trt docs,one in skokie,the other chicago.i was hoping for a face to face doctor I could see in the physical. After I got home from my visit,I filled out the forms,sent over my labs to defy.

He probably prescribed it hoping you are one of the men who respond like this:

Cabergoline Improves Orgasms in Two Thirds of Men
Caution: Low doses of under 1 mg per week are safer. Cabergoline has some concerning data on heart tissue.

Interesting, but I'm doing ok in that dept.no problems with orgasm.
Here I come defy!!

Finding a doctor who can be trusted, who knows androgen replacement, is the single biggest challenge most of us have faced on Hormone Highway. All the best.
