DHT Doubled Whit Cabergoline!

[Lucas]

I am taking cabergoline, 0,5 mg each week, to lower my high prolactin.

Whit less than 2 months of use, my prolactin was gone from 17,66 ng/ml to 1,7.

But, interesting is the increase in my DHT since started taking cabergoline (it is the only thing different that I did on that period).

My DHT has gone from 693,8 pg/ml to 1.289,7 pg/ml. The reference range is 250 – 990.

Can cabergoline do this?

Before asking, no, my hair don’t get worse from it.

Cabergoline is a dopamine agonist and prolactin antagonist, so yes, I would think it would likely be due to this. Increasing dopamine and lowering prolactin are both ways to increase androgens.

BTW..... I've also heard that Cabergoline can dramatically reduce the male refractory period.

Did you notice any side effects?

 

[Lucas]

I have no side effects.

Interesting is that DHT is related to beard growth, but in my case, I only need to shave one time a week and it is only a stubble.

I am 40 male, close to 41 years old, and my body hair is average.

My testosterone increased to, from the 600 to 740, free testosterone don’t change, is still small in the range (and I think this is good).

now thats impressive! do you feel any different?

Interesting that I don’t feel any difference.

If you orgasm too frequently psychological benefits from DHT and T are almost zero. After every climax you down regulate the cells ability to use androgens efficiently in your brain. (androgen receptors down regulate, oestrogen receptors up regulate).

Can you please re-write your values, because to me it looks like your DHT plummeted to 1.289, were as before 693.8. Because some experts show that Prolactin and DHT rise and fall together. your test rose, which would make sense. DHT may have fallen just like your prolactin did.

I'm sure I read something negative about cabergoline. Can't it cause heart fibrosis or something?

I believe the OP is from a country that uses commas and periods in the reverse way than the US does for numbers. I've seen this standard for writing numbers before. If you look at his punctuation, it's consistent throughout the post.

Very interesting results, thanks for posting them here.
I was curious about cabergoline but had concerns about the potential heart fibrosis side effect.

It is 1289,7. It is really on the thousands.

Shows again how pointless individual hormone measurements are.

I agree.

Spanish speakers use them inverted, comma is to separate decimal parts from integers.

Would that mean high androgen makes that are strong and attractive and have sex often would get that effect and start getting less androgenic mating frequently?

more hormones in the blood doesn't mean more hormones in the cell

Yes deffinetly. Moderation is key, like always.

It can. But it won't hurt in the short term and low doses.

If you want to use it long term & high doses, you should balance it with a 5HT2B receptor antagonist. Because heart fibrosis comes from 5HT2B.

because it is the same fallacy as with measuring estradiol with blood tests
