Parlodel (Bromocriptine Mesylate)

Hi

I am currently taking this drug and boy is it 'crap' to put it bluntly. Has anyone else used it, their thoughts and experiences?

I have only used it now for 2 days and I’m not enjoying this one bit. First day after about 2 hours, I just had the life drained out of me. I was ‘forced’ to lie down, my body refused to stay up so I started lying in my arms at my work. I couldn’t bear to be around anyone so I went to my car to sleep a bit, then having this hectic shake and I wake up (That point where you just about to fall asleep). Ok so I gave up on that idea after 45 minutes of trying to sleep this off. The nausea these tablets caused was unbelievable, I finally was able to eat something the night before last which was some toast with Bovril as it’s the only thing my body could stomach. Then I decided to try take this tablet last night so I could sleep off most of the bad side effects. I could not fall asleep and then when I did it was very light, waking up all night, kind of like being on Tren. This morning I could only have a protein shake for breakfast then 2 hours later I tried to have my mince and rice and it took me around an hour to eat a handful of food, which in the end I sifted only the protein as I couldn’t eat anymore.

How long am I going to experience these side effects, should I drop dose to 1.75mg? Also I feel like I’m wasting my time juicing if I can’t eat…

Any suggestions would be great, thanks for listening to my sob story.

:ohmy:

Got this from the web - in my very humble opinion I think you are overdosing.

And also just by the way - if I remember correctly your kidney's arent exactly what it's suppose to be....this stuff dont seem to play nice with them
