what meds are working for you?
I recently started dostinex (cabergoline) and am finding it a lot better than bromocriptine. I only have to take it twice a week and then in a few months once a week so I only feel sick one or two days instead of every day. I feel really positive about this medication. What is working or not working for you?

NSV huzzah!
I was just walking home from the bus and a neighbor stopped me to say that i was looking great and to ask me how i was losing weight. I told her about MFP and how great everyone is here. It was awesome to have someone else notice the difference that this past 10 weeks of hard work has made. :)

Bromocriptine
Hello, Just wondering if anyone else in the group has taken or is taking bromocriptine. I saw my doctor yesterday and he did some blood work and told me he will most likely put me back on it in two weeks. I know from last time I took it I was dizzy and nauseas all the time. Do you have any tips on how to manage these side…

My story

It has made me gain quite a lot of weight very quickly and made it very difficult to take it off. I'm hoping to start meds…
