increase metabolic rate for cutting.
decrease prolactin caused by fina/deca etc. that leads to gyno

It's use while dieting is that it tricks the body into not realizing it's dieting therefore leptin levels shouldn't drop, all theoretical I believe though. It also tends to blunt appetite, which some think is simply due to the stomach upset that it causes most people.

The prolactin lowering effect is the main use of the drug and and if you want to use it for that then I would recommend Dostinex.

Bromocritine is a dopamine agonist drug, avtivating the dopamine D2 receptors. It´s main use is for treatment of high prolactin, parkinson´s disease and acromegaglia. Of course, for bodybuilding it is use for down high prolactin level. Some AAS like Deca appear to elevated prolactin level, producing what is know "Deca dick". Using bromo avoid that.
It has a half life of roughly 12-14 hours and dosing is 2,5-5 mg day

Not to split hairs, but it doesn't prevent leptin levels from dropping. Leptin increases dopamine levels. Since Bromocriptine is a dopamine agonist, it effectually mimmicks one of the effects of leptin.

I may be in the minority here but I think it is used way too often. It's used for lowering prolactin but, in my opinion, that isn't the problem for people at risk of gyno (be that test gyno or deca/fina gyno). In order for breast tissue to differentiate and develop, more than one hormone has to be present (estrogen, progesterone, prolactin, and I think IGF-1). The normal therapies for gyno (aromatase inhibitors or nolva) will do the same job of preventing gyno since if there is no estrogen, gyno won't develop. It doesn't matter how much prolactin is around. Taking a more harsh drug (bromo) just isn't warrented IMO.

Also, there is the issue of bromo (and all other ergo alkyloids) mediating dopamine levels. I know that many here, including myself, take SSRI's. Some SSRI's (wellbutrin in particular) also work by increasing dopamine levels (among other things). It seems to me that it might be dangerous to mix different drugs that both affect dopamine levels. That affect could be additive or even synergstic. The best case scenereo would be an antagonistic affect but that would decrease the affectiveness of both drugs compared to either one alone and I certainly wouldn't want to decrease the effectiveness of my SSRI.
