  • Title: [Bromocriptine-associated postpartum psychotic exacerbation].
    Author: Durst R, Dorevitch A, Ghinea C, Ginath Y.
    Journal: Harefuah; 1990 Feb 15; 118(4):203-4. PubMed ID: 2347522.
    Abstract:
    2 cases are presented in which bromocriptine (Parlodel) was administered to suppress physiological lactation; parturition had precipitated deterioration in mental status and psychotic behavior. Discontinuation of bromocriptine and administration of antipsychotic medication resulted in gradual improvement in the psychotic symptoms, without complications of galactorrhea or breast engorgement. We recommend that changes in mental status be looked for when bromocriptine is given.
