Hi
 I have worked with a couple of women who have received this medication for a
 pituitary tumour and then planned a pregnancy. The medication itself  is nto 
the
 problem. These two women both lactated well. There should be no problems with
 lactation, I simply have contact with their endocrinologist and  discuss when 
the
 plan is for the women to restart the Dostinex (carbergoline). As our local
 endocrinologists support breastfeeding, they generally encourage  breastfeeding
 and only would suggest weaning if the woman started having problems  related to
 the high prolactin levels linked with the pituitary tumor.

 Does anyone have any experience with the drug Dosinex? I am  wondering
 about long term effects after stopping the drug?  What effect it   could have 
on
 a new breastfeeding experience several years down the  road after the drug
 has been stopped?
