I've searched many post about Cabergoline and at what Prolactin levels is it justified but - can't find any answers as to what blood test levels justifies its use. I know Gene has posted he is using this .5 BIW and that Dr. Shippen prescribes this to his patients on testosterone therapy with low libido but again, no reference as to what Prolactin blood levels are prior to starting Cabergoline.
I have been on T therapy for about 18 months now and have noticed an uptick on libido but, I'm still missing a piece of the puzzle. On a scale of 1-10, I would rate my libido at 5 and with the help of Levitra and Viagra. My testicles are somewhat shrunken on HCG 250mg EOD which should have taken care of that. Like I said, I'm missing a piece of the puzzle somewhere and, maybe elevated Prolactin is that piece. T and Free T in line along with other blood work, but I do have high SHBG.
Prolactin tested 4/28/16 came back 13.0 ng/ml with range of 4.0 - 15.2 so I am 85% of the high range.
If you have had yours tested and are now taking Cabergoline, would greatly appreciate your comments and experience. I have a consult coming up with Dr. Crisler and hopefully will have some expert opinions here about starting Cabergoline.
