That's probably why you gained weight then. I have the same problem. My endocrinologist told me elevated prolactin can raise the risk of osteoporosis in the future. I just got blood work done today so I'll be able to see if the bromocriptine is helping at all. I think it is a little because I got my period back, albeit sporadically.
