So far I haven't been able to find the part about sex drive inhibition but here's why I would try to get by on the lowest dose possible. It's a great product but keep the dosage as low as possible.
Valvulopathy
Post marketing cases of cardiac valvulopathy have been reported in patients receiving Dostinex. These cases have generally occurred during long-term administration of high doses of Dostinex (>2mg/day) used for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. Rare cases have been reported associated with short-term treatment (<6 months) or in patients receiving lower doses for the treatment of hyperprolactinemia.
Physicians should use the lowest effective dose of Dostinex for the treatment of hyperprolactinemia and should periodically reassess the need for continuing therapy with Dostinex. In addition, patients receiving long term treatment with Dostinex should undergo periodic reassessment of their cardiac status, and echocardiography should be considered. Any patient who develops signs or symptoms of cardiac disease, including dyspnea, edema, congestive heart failure, or a new cardiac murmur, while being treated with Dostinex should be evaluated for possible valvulopathy
