Bromocriptine Info and SEX


Since the huge interest in bromocriptine; here's some information. Something of interest; it inhibits prolactin production. When you get tren induced gyno; it's most likely because progesterone like effects are raising prolactin levels too and the combined effect causes gyno. By eliminating prolactin (and possibly reducing progesterone) you MAY be able to avoid the tren induced gynocomastia. Anywho, here's your information.


Bromocriptine is a well-established drug for two conditions, increased levels of the hormone prolactin and Parkinson's. The best-known brand name is Parlodel. The standard tablet dosage is 2.5 mg.

Bromocriptine also has a sexuality-enhancing effect, though it is not commonly sold for that purpose. Nevertheless, there is little doubt that in many people, bromocriptine will support sexual response. The reason why the drug is not specifically sold as impotence or frigidity medication: a sufficient number of studies to achieve FDA approval for the purpose of sexual enhancement have not been conducted.

In view of the enormous marketing success of Pfizer's Viagra, many pharmaceutical companies are interested in distributing substances that enhance sexual response. However, for "old" drugs, the patents of which have expired, there is little incentive to invest into the necessary clinical trials.

The sexually enhancing effect of bromocriptine is very different from the effect of Viagra (generic name: sildenafil citrate). Viagra works primarily on the sexual organ, providing chemically for better rigidity, or some rigidity in the first place.

Bromocriptine, on the other hand, works on the brain, making a person more receptive for sexual stimulation and creating a frame of mind for more powerful orgasms. Both effects are a logical consequence of the way, bromocriptine is traditionally used… to lower levels of the hormone prolactin, and to increase levels of the neurotransmitter dopamine.

High levels of prolactin are generally associated with a decreased sex drive. So, by lowering levels of prolactin, especially when they are high, bromocriptine increases the interest in sex.

A similar effect is achieved by bromocriptine through the neurological route. Bromocriptine is used as a medication in Parkinson's because it will cause higher levels of the neurotransmitter dopamine. Parkinson's is a disease caused by dopamine levels that are too low. Low dopamine levels normally also cause a loss of interest in sex, and an increased sex drive is a common "side effect" of many Parkinson's medications. One person's side effect is another person's cure.

While the increase in sex drive caused by bromocriptine may be hard to measure, the effect on orgasms is more obvious. Orgasms become more powerful, ironically because they are better controlled. The pre-orgasm plateau phase can last for minutes on bromocriptine, and orgasm will be accompanied by a pronounced histamine reaction (stuffed nose).

Bromocriptine is a prescription drug most everywhere, though in many countries of the world, prescription drugs can be bought over the counter. In countries where prescription drugs are indeed only sold on prescriptions, it is within a physician's discretion to prescribe a drug for conditions for which it has not originally been approved. Prescriptions are issued for men between 25 and 65 years of age.

For a substance to be approved as a medication, an illness has first to be defined for which it is a cure. Nowadays, there are many newly defined illnesses, such as clinical depression, attention deficit disorder, erectile dysfunction … conditions, which have previously not been considered illnesses but just part of the individuality of a particular human being.

Some members of our species are smarter than others, and some are happier, and some of the males are more virile than their neighbors. Not to be as smart as a genius, and not to be as virile as one's neighbor aren't diseases in the classical sense. But new illnesses are constantly defined, because the pharmaceutical ******** has on hand a medication to overcome the condition. So, if there will soon be a medical condition named Weak Orgasm Syndrome, or Clinical Sex Drive Loss, bromocriptine is a sure medication candidate.

Bromocriptine belongs to a group of drugs derived from the ergot fungus. A more concentrated dopaminergic drug that is also derived from ergot is Dostinex. Dostinex is a new, patented drug, which is why clinical trials have been financed to look into its application to improve sexual function, especially the enhancement of orgasms.

The following is what the BBC, on April 24, 2002, had to report on Dostinex (generic name: cabergoline):

Sex drug could aid male stamina

The drug could enhance men's sexual pleasure.

Scientists believe they are close to developing a pill to boost male stamina, which could become as popular as Viagra.

The drug, used to treat Parkinson's disease, has been found to raise a man's chances of sustaining multiple orgasms during sex.

In trials, the drug cabergoline was prescribed to minimize the effects of the hormone prolactin, which is produced by men at the point of orgasm.

The hormone has the effect of reducing a man's desire for more sex by preventing new erections.

Normally, the 60 test people, all healthy males, between the ages of 22 and 31, needed a break of 19 minutes between lovemaking.

However, after taking Cabergoline, they were able to have several orgasms within a few minutes.

Medical psychologist Manfred Schedlowski, who was involved in the trials at Essen in Germany, said the drug raised the libido to enable the male to orgasm again more quickly.

He said: "We saw that prolactin rises after orgasm and then thought maybe prolactin is a negative feedback system.

"Subjects who took this drug had decreased prolactin levels, and reported their orgasm was better and there was a shorter refractory period.

New developments

"We interviewed these subjects and found they were able to have multiple orgasms in very rapid succession.

"This is sitting very nicely with our hypothesis that orgasms and sexual drive are steered by prolactin and dopamine in the brain."

Cabergoline has been on the market in Germany for several months and is used to treat Parkinson's disease and prevent women producing milk when they want to stop breastfeeding.

The drug had no side effects on men during the tests, according to an article to be published in the International Journal of Impotence Research.

The researchers now plan to carry out trials to investigate whether cabergoline will have the same effect on women.

The market for drugs like Viagra has swelled and is thought to be worth about 1billionn.

It is thought cabergoline could have similar potential.

It has to be pointed out that while both bromocriptine and Dostinex enhance libido, they both are not treatments for erectile dysfunction in the narrow sense.

Erectile dysfunction, the one treated by Viagra, is a local tissue weakness. Its as if a man who hasnt done any exercise for years is challenged to swim 5 kilometers. He may not have the muscle strength to go that far. For the man with erectile dysfunction, Viagra is like the life vest for the untrained swimmer. A well-trained athlete wont need either.

Unknown to many men, ones penis can be trained through exercise, just as ones biceps or pectorals. Since I myself have taken up this kind of exercises, my dependence on Viagra for erectile quality has eased considerably.

There are a number of penis exercise programs on the Internet, all quite similar to each other. However, I believe they are too narrowly marketed. They all focus on penis exercise to achieve size gains. While these programs clearly work to that effect, size gains primarily are a concern of a young clientele.

I myself have no problem with the size of my penis, but having reached the age of 50, I, like many men of my age, have noticed a decline in sexual function, both the libido and erection component. That this can be considered "normal" doesnt make it any more acceptable to me. I am determined to have excellent sexual function for another 20 years or so, and I currently have indeed achieved a level of sexual function comparable (or better) to what it was in my late 20s.

Both bromocriptine and Dostinex have contributed to this, but so has a sensible penis exercise regimen. One specific effect of the exercise program I am using is that it gives me, to a certain extend, control over erectile function. While the penile tissue itself does not consist of muscles that could willfully be controlled, penile function is influenced by a number of surrounding muscles… and these surrounding muscles are under will control.

These surrounding muscles can exert pressure on penile outflow blood vessels, and almost squeeze them shut, thus allowing a man to prolong an erection, or to cause a heightened degree of rigidity.

While my primary concern had been the restoration of sexual function, I have also achieved an increase in penis size. All kind of animal tissue responds to stretching exercise; physicians can even cause bone growth just by applying a constant pull, for example after fractures, or to correct limbs of unequal size in children.

An improvement in size of 10 to 20 percent can usually be achieved within two to four weeks. Adding 30 to 40 percent in length will take diligent adherence to the mentioned programs for several months. But there is no question that these programs work.

While these programs are not free, they are much cheaper than solutions in the pharmacological department (giving that Viagra costs more than 5 dollars a 50-milligram dose, and that the effects lasts just a few hours). The penile enlargement programs range between 30 and 60 dollars, but that's a one-time investment, and the benefit can last for decades (if a professional program is used).

The downside of exercise programs is that they can be time consuming, taking at least half an hour per day, and considerably longer if maximum results are aimed for. Which is why oral supplements, though more expensive, have so much appeal to a large number of men.

Do you have any info comparing the effects and side effects of Bromo, Dostinex, and Prami?
