Did it work?

Do u stay on it long term or is it stopped once prolactin lowers?

Doctor pointed out a couple of strange side effects. Change of behaviour - desire to gamble and sexual urges ha

Yes it appears to have worked, he's been on it about 6 months and levels have dropped from over 4000 to below 5. He has to have another MRI to see if the tumour has shrunk then see his consultant next month so will find out if it's long term or not. He has no side effects from it at all. Hope that helps, good luck.
