I wanted to stop breastfeeding to my 15 months old baby. I already have hypothyroidism. I was advised by the doctor to take cabgolin 0.5 medicine twicevwithin a gap of three days. But as soon as I took first dose, I had severe headache n pain in breasts with dizziness n chills. My breasts were engorged and started having lumps. I went back to doctor n they had to give me some antibiotics and painkillers. After 24 hours, the headache is still there and after expressing milk, breasts are fine, still heavy. I am really scared to take the last dose of cabgolin and do not trust the doctor at all as they really did not treat me well. In the first instance, doctor just advised cabgolin without having any look at my breasts or even touching me, when I had clearly told her, I am having engorged breasts and it's paining as I haven't fed my baby in last 24 hours and to give some medicine to ease the pain. Please advise if I should take another dose of cabgolin or not. Don't want to go through that hell feeling again.

Hi. I understand what you are going through. I wound like to tell you to first get treated for breast engorgement & simultaneously get stop feeding. Wear bra little tight than normal, express out all the milk before taking cabergoline. Do not handle the breast either by expressing or feeding the baby after taking the cabergoline dosage.
