I do miss the dopaminergic "push" that Parnate provided, but Nardil's effect on my anxiety is magical. My social phobia and other anxiety issues are simply gone, and I love it. Needless to say, I'm not depressed; I can't wait to see what this is like after two more weeks.

I take more (500mcg once daily) than the dose recommended for prolactin suppression (500mcg twice weekly), but that is what it took to get a response. I have no side effects from the cabergoline whatsoever, just increased drive and a return of orgasm! There is NO NEED for anyone to suffer this side effect, because cabergoline is available to treat it. It also jacks up the libido quite nicely. My med cocktail:

> > 1) Has anyone had any success minimizing/eliminating carb cravings and/or weight gain? I am working out 4-5 times per week (30-45 mins cardio + 30-45 mins weight training--IN PUBLIC AT A GYM(!)--neither of which I could do without my meds!) but still worry about gaining weight and/or keeping fat on despite working out. Will this suffice? I try to keep snacking to a minimum, and when I do, I usually make it a piece of fruit or whatnot.

Metformin is for appetite suppression as it normalizes blood sugar levels. 850 mg to 1000mg a day for appetite suppression. Just make sure the two can be taken together.

So what made you make the switch? I thought you were totally loyal to nardil.

Brilliant idea to add the carbergoline for prolactin suppression as that will also keep your testosterone levels up.
However isn't there something out there about carbegoline being toxic to the heart? Or only at certain doses.
