Bromo once a day or split dosage?

[GMS]

I was taking bromo 2.5mg a day in the morning, later in the day I feel terrible, tired, sick, etc.
Is it a better idea to take 1/2 tab in the morning and 1/2 before bed?
Or how about one tab right before bed, so I fall asleep with no sides?

What are you using it for? Prolactin inhibition, fat loss, cravings?? I think I remember Macro saying that prolactin level can peak during the night when asleep so it may be best to take it at night. I take it at night for curb the carb cravings plus the stuff knocks me out. Even more so than ambien. You take it for fat loss at night also. Actually I'm not really sure why you would take it throughout the day.

Like Delinquent said it depends on what u are using it for. But for most applications once a day in the am.

Thanks for the help so far.

you are using too much


just use 1/4 tab (try at night and am to see what works best for you).... EOD..

after a week you MAY, but probably wont have to. raise to 1/4 tab ED

glad to hear that. I'm starting to do a little research on it after your post on the other board. The Rx price is a little high at one tab per day, but if a pill lasts a week, that's a whole different story

bromo is very cheap.. search for bromocriptine and IAS.

Thanks macro, that should make my days easier.

 

[macrophage69alpha]

bedtime application tends to be most effective..

macro: Im interested to hear your rationale for this? From what I've read its apparently best to take bromo in the morning, since it's a dopamine agonist and dopamine is naturally high in the morning, supposedly this minimizes the assoicated side effects.

 

[nikolai_bolkov]

Actually it's the other way around, since dopamine is the highest in the evenings, it aggravates the sides when taken at that time.

GMS how long are you planning on running the bromo?

Macro, you have never explained your rationale behind this. You are about the only proponent of dosing at night. Care to give an explanation?
And as far as your 1/4 tab theory, you also seem be the only one to advertise taking such low a dosage. ??????

prolactin spikes are at night, during sleep... which is why people with prolactin problems often test at normal levels...

.. because it works at that dosage.. few people will need more than than that..

Bromo made me feel sick as a dog.

Half a 2.5mg tab in the morning made my stomach feel so strange I didn't want to eat the entire day. I guess that could be seen as a bonus if dieting but I certainly didn't feel like working out.

GMS how long are you planning on running the bromo?

I took it for a week, then stopped for just under a week because I felt terrible on it. But since the lump under my nipple wasn't getting any better, I started taking it again. I took half tab in the morning yesterday, before Macro gave me a dosage, and I felt a lot better than if I would have taken a whole tab. Today, I'm going to do it at night. I'll probably take it for another week or two.

 

[Ttokkyo Jack]

If you are using bromo to inhibit the secretion of prolactin, to combat gyno, then I would suggest taking it in the am and pm. This is due to the short half-life of bromo (7hours). The reason why most people don't take it at night, is because it affects there sleep. But if you are going to try it at night anyways I would suggest a 1/4 tab in the morning and 1/4 tab in the evening.

 

[Delinquent]

Man I have had nothing but positive experiences with it in terms of sleep. The stuff knocks me out better than ambien for some reason. Very nice unexpected addition to it

 

[Sigmund Roid]

If you are obese, you will also have significant peaks in prolactin during the day, together with an elevated base. In that case, use 2x per day.

I will be getting bromo soon, and running 1/4 tab before bed for about 4 weeks, im doing this to *TRY* and reduce puffy nips (since nolv, armidex, yohimburn, andactrim, yohimbe powder, zinc, b6 -- all did nothing [yea i've tried em all] )

Anyway, ill let you all know how it goes...

 

[Only1eagle]

I just want to get this straight. For reducing prolactin lvls (per fina) all you need is to run 1/4 2.5mg tab twice a day?

So you are only taking 1/2 a tab each day?

Just about to order some and want to make sure.

I have been using Bromo for 8 weeks trying (quite successufully) to prevent gyno and libido problems from Deca. I started a quarter of a 2.5mg tab per day and go up to two half tabs per day for a total of 2.5mg/day. From reading this that may be an overkill. For me though, Bromo may induce a small feeling of well being, but other than this nothing. I have no nausea, head aches, drowsiness, sleeplessness, or any other -ness.
My understanding is that if you do have problems with Bromo you should definitely get Caborgoline (Dostinex). I am not sure I could have found this drug, but it is touted as better with lower side-effects (although more expensive). If prolactin inhibition is helping your existing gyno, but you cannot tolerate Bromo then Caborgoline will likely be wonderful for you.
Knowing what I know now about Bromo I might have looked harder for Caborgoline (I did look a little), but for me it has been a non-issue. I know some people recommend Caborgoline highly above Bromo and this seems well founded to me.
Good Luck.
