We are only talking about a maximum dose of 1mg at a time or even 1mg split over the course of a week dependant upon what your taking it for so I think we are reasonably assured of being safe from any heart valve issues associated with Dostinex at those doses.

I agree wholeheartedly. I hope I didn't infer anything different. I do believe it was showing up at when taking as low as 2mg a day for long periods. And of course there shouldn't be any problems with running the 1mg twice a week as you have recommended Access or even 1.5 mg's if needed. For prolactin I believe I read that it begins shutting it down within 3 hours of taking a healthy dose like 1 or 1.5 mg's. So that's nice to hear how quickly it kicks in at those doses.
