What it is

IdentityCaber or Dostinex: a long-acting oral dopamine D2 agonist that lowers prolactin.
Why discussedHigh-prolactin symptoms, libido and sexual function, including side-management talk around nandrolone or trenbolone.
Notes

Cabergoline, often called caber or Dostinex, is an oral medicine that lowers prolactin. People discuss it for high-prolactin symptoms, libido and sexual function, and alongside nandrolone or trenbolone. Reports include restored desire, no improvement and feeling worse; a sexual symptom alone does not identify its cause.

A long-acting dopamine agonist. It activates dopamine D2 receptors involved in prolactin release. Prolactin is a hormone associated with lactation; excess levels can disrupt reproductive function. Caber is an ergot-derived drug, not a peptide, testosterone replacement, estrogen blocker or erection medicine. Dostinex Profile (Secondhand community claim · Accessed 2026-09-30)

Relief of nipple discharge or presumed 19-nor sides. Bodybuilding discussions connect caber with nandrolone and trenbolone, sometimes calling the problem prolactin gyno or Deca dick. The original record includes reported relief and disagreement: estrogen, other drugs, sleep and progestin effects can complicate that explanation.

What people notice

Sexual changesReports include more desire, easier erections, improved sensitivity and orgasms; another patient had no libido improvement after five months despite lower prolactin.
Feeling worseHeadaches and nausea can precede benefits. Some report worse sexual performance, flat mood or emotional dullness with low prolactin.
More driveOne patient felt extra energy and assertiveness within hours; others describe excessive desire or overstimulation rather than improved wellbeing.
Notes

More desire, easier erections or orgasm. A testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) forum user reported improved sensitivity, libido and orgasms. High-prolactin patients describe returning morning erections and energy, but another reports no libido improvement after five months despite lower prolactin. These are different starting problems, not interchangeable outcomes. cabergoline (Personal report · Accessed 2026-09-30) · My libido is non existent!! (Community discussion · Accessed 2026-09-30)

Unwanted effects may start before benefits. An oral 0.25 mg twice-weekly patient reports headaches and nausea within 24 hours. Another report describes sexual function worsening in the first week while prolactin fell. Neither establishes a universal adjustment period. Cabergoline Side Effects (Community discussion · Accessed 2026-09-30) · My prolactin level became zero after two weeks of taking Cabergoline (Personal report · Accessed 2026-09-30)

Lower prolactin is not always a better experience. A TRT user reported prolactin below the lab range with worse sexual performance. Original reports also mention flat mood, anhedonia and dry eyes; these symptoms do not prove over-suppression. Bloodwork and the wider hormone picture matter more than guessing from libido alone. Blood Work Friday: 2022-10-28 (Community discussion · Accessed 2026-09-30)

Hours for some feelings; weeks or months for sexual recovery. One patient describes extra energy and assertiveness a few hours after a dose. Others report libido returning after 2–3 weeks or a couple of months. The original AAS discussions judge symptoms over 2–8 weeks. These are different endpoints, not one dependable onset range. My libido is non existent!! (Community discussion · Accessed 2026-09-30)

More libido can become uncomfortable. A returning-libido patient describes desire becoming almost excessive. Another reports overstimulation and 24 hours without sleep after a dose increase.

Doses people talk about

Twice-weekly reports0.25 mg per dose twice weekly, 0.5 mg total weekly. One TRT account used 0.5 mg twice weekly, 1 mg total weekly.
Other community patterns0.25–0.5 mg total weekly, sometimes divided, and a separate 0.25 mg every-third-day pattern appear.
Tablet contextA usual 0.5 mg scored tablet gives 0.25 mg halves; approximately 0.125 mg quarters can be uneven.
Clinical contextUS labeling starts at 0.25 mg twice weekly, spaces changes at least four weeks apart and caps at 1 mg twice weekly; this does not establish a bodybuilding regimen.
Notes

0.25 mg per administration, twice weekly: 0.5 mg total per week. This appears in bodybuilding plans, TRT reports and the original community record.

0.5 mg twice weekly: 1 mg total weekly in one TRT account. That user's positive report does not establish a dose-response rule. The original record also repeats 1 mg twice weekly as a supposed ceiling; this comes from clinical labeling, not a community safety measurement. cabergoline (Personal report · Accessed 2026-09-30)

Lower weekly totals and more frequent variants also appear. Original discussions include 0.25–0.5 mg total weekly, sometimes divided, and 0.25 mg every third day. They are separate patterns. The latter is a per-dose amount, not a weekly total.

Tablet amounts are milligrams. The usual discussed form is a scored 0.5 mg oral tablet. Original accounts describe halves as 0.25 mg and quarters as approximately 0.125 mg, with uneven splitting a concern. These are descriptions, not a pill-splitting routine.

Clinical dosing and lactation uses have separate rules. The US starting schedule is 0.25 mg twice weekly, with changes at least four weeks apart and a maximum of 1 mg twice weekly.

Half-life, onset & duration

Felt onsetSome feelings occur within hours; sexual improvement is reported after 2–3 weeks or months. Other people feel only side effects or no improvement.
Felt durationNo reliable single-dose libido window. One patient described side effects for 2–3 days after a dose.
Half-lifeOfficial estimates are 63–69 hours in healthy subjects and 79–115 hours in hyperprolactinemic patients; assay and population differ.
Blood peakAbout 2–3 hours after an oral dose in official human measurements; this is different from libido recovery.

Cycles people discuss

Bodybuilding debateWhole-cycle prevention competes with use only when symptoms or labs raise concern; no established caber cycle or scheduled break emerges.
Stopping and long-term useAAS accounts stop when symptoms settle or the associated drug clears; patient accounts include years of supervised care. These do not define one taper or repeat-course rule.
Notes

Whole-cycle prevention versus using it only when a problem emerges. Both positions remain in the original AAS record. An inspected tren thread starts with planned twice-weekly caber despite already-low prolactin; the poster then changes toward monitoring. That debate supplies no established cabergoline cycle length or scheduled break. Questions about Prolactin and Progesterone on first tren cycle (Community discussion · Accessed 2026-09-30)

Stop timing differs between bodybuilding and disease treatment. Original AAS accounts stop when sides settle or the associated drug clears, and revisit caber on later runs.

Stacks

Nandrolone or trenboloneUsed in community logs for presumed prolactin-related sides; sexual symptoms or nipple changes do not identify the hormone involved.
Sexual-function combinationsTadalafil or sildenafil, PT-141 and P5P appear in saved accounts; their contributions cannot be separated.
Estrogen blockersSome logs also use anastrozole or exemestane; cabergoline does not replace estrogen control, and guessing at both can target the wrong problem.
Notes

19-nor AAS adjacency: Most-discussed pairing is with nandrolone (Deca/NPP) or trenbolone when users attribute lactation-type sides, sexual dysfunction, or “prolactin gyno” to those compounds. Caber is treated as a side-management tool, not an anabolic. [community]

Relief of nipple discharge or presumed 19-nor sides. Bodybuilding discussions connect caber with nandrolone and trenbolone, sometimes calling the problem prolactin gyno or Deca dick. The original record includes reported relief and disagreement: estrogen, other drugs, sleep and progestin effects can complicate that explanation.

Adding drugs can obscure which problem changed. Original stacks include estrogen blockers, tadalafil or sildenafil, PT-141 and P5P (active vitamin B6). Pramipexole and bromocriptine are compared for tolerance and dosing convenience, not treated as equivalent substitutes. A tren log describes guessing at gyno treatment before abdominal pain, swelling and tingling appeared amid several drugs. Test tren cycle (Community discussion · Accessed 2026-09-30)

P5P / vitamin B6 discussion: Pyridoxal-5-phosphate and higher-dose B6 appear as proposed alternatives or additions for prolactin. Calling them milder does not establish comparative safety, equivalent potency or a supported combination. [community]

PDE5 combo: Occasional logs stack tadalafil/sildenafil for erection quality while using caber for presumed prolactin — separate mechanisms; hard to attribute which agent helped. [anecdote]

PT-141 / other libido agents: Mentioned in sexual-function stacks; dopaminergic + melanocortin combinations are experimental in user logs, not standard endocrine care. [anecdote]

Not an AI substitute: Estrogen control (anastrozole, exemestane, etc.) is a separate axis problem from prolactin. Forums repeatedly warn against using caber to “fix gyno” that is actually high-E2. [community]

Estrogen blockers with cabergoline: Some logs combine an AI for presumed E2 problems with cabergoline for presumed prolactin problems. Symptoms and a copied laboratory schedule do not establish either diagnosis or combination safety. [community]

Source context — Test tren cycle: Several overlapping drugs, inconsistent schedule mentions and no posted prolactin measurement supporting the 4–5-day claim. Duplicate posts 29–31 and quoted repeats counted once. The lifetime cardiac-safety assurance is rejected. Tren unit typo not reproduced.

From community experience

  • Relief and tolerability are separate questions. One patient reported symptom relief alongside third-week fatigue, brain fog, appetite loss and mood trouble, with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, migraines and graduation stress complicating attribution. Later, the same person reported over a year without problems. Other patients remain intolerant or report no side effects. Reddit · r/Prolactinoma Reddit · r/Prolactinoma
  • Food or bedtime does not guarantee an easy next day. People discuss taking tablets with food or at night for nausea.
