> Well, I paid like 120 bucks for the Dostinex, but when it arrives, I won't be taking a dose. Down the toilet it will go. As SLS mentioned, and I was very aware of, the risk of the so-called deadly "Leaky Heart Valve" syndrome that has come up in major research is not worth it.

> So....I am off again! Looking for med to help with sex drive, and if it can, weight-loss too. I was looking at Arimidex. My testosterone is not increasing even though I am on the max dose of gel for. Arimidex apparently majorly increases testosterone in men, and decreases harmful estrogen in men as well. I am going to have a look. Oh btw...yes I have tried Requip/Mirapex for sexual dysfunction. No go.

> JayGet off the gel if it is not increasing test and wait a month and get tested for testosterone and estradiol. If your estradiol is high that is probably the cause of your low testosterone. In that case a milligram a week of arimidex may normalize testosterone. Dostinex works if prolactin is high.
