Bromocriptine! What are the sides?

[Desibaba]

I will soon be adding some Bromocriptine (one tab a day) to my cycle when i resume it.Had to stop it in only 2 weeks cuz i was getting gyno.Cycle was 250 mgs test n 100 mgs tren acetate Eod and 1 mg of arimidex eod.The arimidex is by goldlifter so no worries there plus i didnt notice any estrogen related sides like water retention either.First time i tried tren so im sure thats whats causing it.Does Bromocriptine have any side effects? If so what are they? Is this compound liver toxic?

Not toxic at such low dosages (2.5mg), but sides are common. Nothing major really. If I increase dosage too quickly and without building up, then I will get constant headaches and feel slightly nauseous. No matter what dosage I use, whether 1.25-3.75mg, I ALWAYS get cold-like symptoms. These is mainly in the form of a stuffy nose. This is common and one way in which you know that the bromo is working.

You wanna hear something weird? Just as i realized i was getting this progesterone induced gyno i got myself some vitamin B-6.Yesterday i took around a gram of that stuff and today i took another 800 mgs.Gotta do something till my supply of bromo gets here.And i felt a lot of headaches and an overall nauseous feeling today.Lol guess the B-6 works in the same mechanism.I loved tren more than any other steroid ever but i think its my first n last time ill use the stuff.As soon as these 40 ccs run out in done with it.

I found some info on B6 that would support your side effects. Basically they said the upper level (a level that is established for all vitamins) of tolerance for B6 is about 100mg/day. The RDA for B6 is only 1.3mg/day for males.

[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Vitamin B6 and the nervous system
[/font][font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Vitamin B6 is needed for the synthesis of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine (1). These neurotransmitters are required for normal nerve cell communication. Researchers have been investigating the relationship between vitamin B6 status and a wide variety of neurologic conditions such as seizures, chronic pain, depression, headache, and Parkinson's disease (18).[/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]What is the health risk of too much vitamin B6 ? [/font][font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Too much vitamin B6 can result in nerve damage to the arms and legs. This neuropathy is usually related to high intake of vitamin B6 from supplements, (28) and is reversible when supplementation is stopped. According to the Institute of Medicine, "Several reports show sensory neuropathy at doses lower than 500 mg per day" (12). As previously mentioned, the Food and Nutrition Board of the Institute of Medicine has established an upper tolerable intake level (UL) for vitamin B6 of 100 mg per day for all adults (12). "As intake increases above the UL, the risk of adverse effects increases (12)."

Hmm.So if i continue to feel nausea even when i go on the Bromo wont it make it a hassle to try to eat every 3 hrs.What if i take the bromo just before bed?

 

[VDC]

Start at a half or even a quarter tab a day. Stay at each dosage for at least 3-5 days before moving the next step up. If you do that, then you shouldnt really feel nauseous at all.

BTW, dosages upwards of 100mg day have been studied for use in Parkinsons patients (bromo's original intention).

So are these lumps going to be permanent? They arent visible but if i feel right above my nipple it feels like a raisin sized lump.Very small and definetly progesterone induced.Or do they sometimes go away just by taking bromo and nolvadex???

 

[VDC]

Depends,,,I have a nice lump under my left breast,,,Can't see, but when I examine myself(and anyone doing aromatisables ought to inspect themselves)I can feel it,,,Never left,,,Some guys they go away,,,Hope yours does,,,VDC

the lumps I got under my nips, especially my left one still haven't gone away and it's been close to two years since I got them. I've tried a-dex, nolvadex, etc. It sucks because when I try to cut up (like now) the skin on my chest and around my nips becomes thinner, but the fat underneath my nips doesn't go anywhere, giving my nipples a very pointy look. It's especially noticeable when wearing t-shirts. Oh well, guess I'll have to bite the bullet one day and go under the knife. Good luck to you though.

How much does it cost in general to get ALL the glandular tissue removed from both pecs? Ive heard once you do that then you can never get gyno again in all your life.Read that in Dave Palumbo column in MD.

 

[Bob Smith]

I have heard that gyno surgery is in the $5k neighborhood.

I have heard that gyno surgery is in the $5k neighborhood.

Cost is going to depend on what they have to do and of course the area of the country you live in. I just had a consultation done and they found that on my right nipple were there isn't much build up of tissue it would be an easy procedure involving only liposuction. On my left nipple or should I say breast there is a substantial build up of fatty tissue which would require an incision around my nipple and they would actually have to remove the lunp then re sculpt my left side to make it uniform.

The total damage on this was just shy of 3K, expensive yes, worth it, I think so. Most plastic / cosmetic surgeon will give you a free consultation, so if your really concerned or the symptons never quite go away go see a Doc.

I've heard the cost being anywhere from three to five grand, for both sides. I also read a thread on another board, by someone who had it done, he said to be very careful who you let perform the operation. He said he would only let a qualified cosmetic surgeon who's performed it before do it b/c it can be very difficult to reconstruct the breast so that it looks 100% natural. He also stated that it was covered by his insurance b/c it wasn't just cosmetic, as gyno can be pretty painful at times.

I might could dig up the thread if anyone is interested.
