  • Title: Psychotic exacerbation attributed to low-dose bromocriptine treatment of galactorrhea and hyperprolactinemia.
    Author: Dorevitch A, Aronzon R, Stark M.
    Journal: Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand; 1991; 70(4-5):375-6. PubMed ID: 1746267.
    Abstract:
    Low-dose bromocriptine administered for antipsychotic drug-induced hyperprolactinemia and galactorrhea precipitated an acute psychotic state in a female patient. Discontinuation of the bromocriptine and increase in antipsychotic dosage resulted in complete remission. We advise caution in the use of bromocriptine especially in patients with a pre-existing psychiatric history and recommend monitoring for changes in mental status when bromocriptine is prescribed.
