I was stuggleing for 15 years with low testosterone and and NO energy. At 62 I ditched my doc and endocrinologist for new competant ones. Found my Prolactin 81 and testo 4. 4 months of bromocriptine and both are 17. all it took was a hormone test. My old doc was lazy and my endo said I dont care about that when I tried to discuss my testo and resulting energy. My symptoms no sex drive , no energy, constant head aches (24 hrs a day) moody and quick temper and others. The bromocriptine caused a few weird things.. Massive sex drive increase (as the testo increased), nausea and vomiting. That was at 5 m/ day now put on 2.5 mg. Nausea and sex impluses normal now. Life is better. It was very bumpy for awhile. All info online is for girls men dont seem to be talked about but this prob can seriously mess up your life and a lazy doc is frustrateing. I knew there was something wrong...
