Hello! My wife (25) finally got put on medicine after months of testing and blood work and brain scans. A little background, her first prolactin level came back at 55, she then had a blood draw after fasting and that came back in the mid 80s, following that at her first endocrinology appointment, it came back in the 60s. And at her most recent it came back again in the 60s range. Her dr was on the fence about putting her on medication since he said under a 65 level he wouldn’t normally prescribe medicine. So we were thankful he did because of all the symptoms she experiences on top of PCOS, she just started on bromocriptine last night, it was about 2 hours after we ate dinner. I left for work at 4 this morning, and when I got to work at 5, she called me saying she woke up to use the bathroom. Her stomach wasn’t hurting, but she said she looked in the mirror and thought “huh, that’s what people mean by someone looking ‘green’.” She was feeling off and decided to sit in the bathroom as a precaution and almost immediately she was vomiting. She said it’s the most violent she’s ever been sick. I stay at work for an hour, waiting for someone to cover my shift, and now I’m back home with her. She still feels bad, not dizzy really, but shes nauseous and weak. We’re going to call her doctor’s office but I wanted to see if this was a normal reaction when first starting.
