I dealt with a pituitary microadenoma myself. After a few years on Cabergoline, it completely cleared up. Just so you know, Cabergoline isn't a hormone, so don't stress about gaining weight from it. When you have a microadenoma, the pituitary gland pumps out too much prolactin. This medication works by blocking that prolactin release, which eventually normalizes your levels and can actually shrink or even eliminate the tumor. You have to start with low doses and scale up gradually; otherwise, you'll get hit with side effects like low blood pressure, nasal congestion, weakness, nausea, or feeling exhausted.
