I have a pituitary gland tumor that causes me to lactate as if I were breastfeeding. I have taken Dostinex for this, but now I'm without health insurance and cannot afford the $186 generic prescription for 8 pills (cabergoline). Are there alternate treatments for this condition?

I do not know anything about your condition, but I have a suggestion for your symptom of over-lactation.

Sage and Parsley will both dry up your milk supply when taken in therapeutic doses. Women who do not wish to breastfeed or who are ready to wean their babies use this natural method.

You can get either in capsule form or you can make the leaves into a tea and drink it.

Teas can be made by pouring 1 cup of boiling water over 1–2 tsps. of dried herb. Let the tea steep, covered, for 5 minutes or so. Teas can be served hot or cold, and brewed many different ways. You can buy the herb that you choose in bulk and make a large amount of tea to keep in the fridge.
Visit this site for more information on making herbal teas:

You can do a search about the other benefits of sage and parsley and that may help you decide which one you want to use. For instance, sage is also good for "persistent bacterial infections within and without the body."

Here's another thought! The above website has a section called "Need a Remedy." If you look in the "T" section, it lists several herbs that will help with "Thyroid Conditions." Among them: cayenne pepper and Siberian Ginseng.
I hope this encourages you.

Wow, sorry about that. I don't know of any treatments, but you should consider applying for your states sponsored health insurance thru your family services or social services office. I live in Missouri, so I would apply for Medicaid, a state sponsored health insurance program. Best of luck.
