Does cabergoline improve ED? Why do body builders take it?

[roadglide]

Saw some info on it searching the net. Anyone taking it on the forum? Has it helped you in anyway?

I micro-dose it, 31 mcg per day. I'd been having increasing difficulties with achieving orgasm, sometimes total anorgasmia. Also, libido, already problematic, was at times nonexistent. I noted that my prolactin had been creeping up over the years, though still well within the reference range—just over 10 ng/mL. The symptoms have abated now that I've been taking cabergoline. It's at least suggestive of a cause-and-effect relationship. I monitored prolactin levels to ensure I wasn't going below my original baseline. In sum, cabergoline is a potentially useful drug when needed, but it should be used with care.

We have a nice thread you might want to look at.

Cabergoline or Not?

Looking for a bit of advice. My own judgment is perhaps clouded by a bit of "desperation" to overcome ED. Perhaps some of you can identify with that situation! :) I hope to get some objective thoughts from the fine people here at ExcelMale. I have had ED for many years not helped by viagra or...

Keep using Cabergoline and you will regret it.

Do elaborate, if you can.

Thanks Vince, I read it.

Does anyone know why body builders take it?

Also read it increase sperm and semen volume. Guess it's used as a fertility drug as well. Wonder how well it works for imcreasing semen volume?

 

[captain]

I recall that body builders take it to control the increase in prolactin from steroid abuse. I have used caber before and it didn't do any of the things you read about. If your prolactin is not way high I would avoid taking it.

I can only say that I read a comment in an unrecalled post that it was used in the porn industry to increase ejaculation volume and had some other positive effects on sexual function.
Being in Mexico, I can get almost anything at the local pharmacy without a prescription, so I purchased some (after researching for any negative effects) and after using it for a short period (two weeks) I discontinued use as it had no impact on my libido/sexual function. Other posts remarked the same experience I had. I, like many others, continue to find the magic formula for sexual dysfunction. For now the blue pill works.

Thanks for the info guys. Don't think I'm going to try it. Think I'll get my prolactin tested out of curiosity though.

Do u still take cabergoline? Do u know of any potential side effects taking it long term? And do u know the half life of caber? Seems that men take it once or twice per week, so I assume the half life is pretty long

Men's Sexual Problems Linked to Low Prolactin Levels

This is an article from 2013 that I found very interesting regarding the impact of low prolactin on men. "The results showed low prolactin was linked to several signs of poor sexual health, as well psychological health. Men with levels of prolactin that were lower than average, although still...

I'm no longer taking it—a change in protocol and low doses of selegiline resolved the slightly elevated prolactin. I'm not sure about side effects specifically attributed to long-term use. The half-life is about three days.

So u prefer a low dose antidepressant over cabergoline to lower prolactin? Not saying that in a bad way or anything. Just curious why u prefer that over cabergoline

Selegiline is a drug for dopamine as cabergoline.

Selegiline has some promising research behind it, possibly overstated somewhat here:

A couple, from the article:

Perhaps most significantly, Selegiline is the first pharmaceutical treatment to ever demonstrate an increase in the maximum lifespan of laboratory animals. This means that Selegiline can increase what is commonly referred to as “normal life expectancy,” in at least in one species of laboratory animals.​

...​

Selegiline (Deprenyl) provides selective protection against the age-related degeneration of the dopaminergic nervous system. It protects sensitive dopamine-containing neurons from the age-associated increases in glial cells (brain cells) and the monoamine oxidase (type B) that they contain. Selegiline is the first selective inhibitor of MAO-B ever discovered, it is the only one used in clinical practice, and it remains the scientific reference standard for B-type inhibition after more than 40 years.​

Do u mind sharing what dose u take?

Also, do u just get this prescribed by ur doctor and pick it up at any local pharmacy?

 

[Gman86]

@Cataceous any mental benefits from taking selegiline? It acts on the dopamine system like caber does correct?
