concentration problems on cab
I got my diagnosis of a 3×4×5mm prolactinoma more than a year ago. High prolactin (x5 normal values) in every blood test I've done but no other hormone affected.
I tried many times to take cab last year but I would always stop after two or three weeks because of because of severe constipation that was causing me to not go to the bathroom for 7+ days. last month we checked if the tumor grew, and despite everyone's expectations, considering that I wasn't on any medication, it stayed exactly the same.
I asked my doctor if it was possible to not take medicines (first time I interrupted spontaneously without doctor's approval) and they said no. so I'm back on 0.25 once a week
so far I didn't have horrible intestinal issues because I increased my fibre intake a lot, but since I started cab 3 weeks ago it's been IMPOSSIBLE to concentrate and study in general. I went from 7 hours at the library per day to nothing. every time I have a thousand different thoughts and ideas and I shift interest every 5 minutes, or I change subject, or I scroll on phone. everything but not studying.
i never related to any symptoms of ADHD but now I get everything. why is it happening after cabergoline? I thought that this kind of problems were caused by high prolactin and I just didn't have them. Is there any supplement I can take to make it better?
thank you, sorry for the rant
