MRI Report Clear Without Tumor After Taking Bromocriptine For Prolactinoma. Sick After The Doctor Changed The Medication To Dostinex. Any Side Effects If Stopped Taking Medicines?

I was diagnosed with an 8mm prolactinoma 2 years ago and started Dostinex. I lasted 3 weeks on the medication before the side effects forced me to change to Bromocriptine. After 2 successful years on the medication my MRI came back clear with no evidence of tumor. At this time I moved from the USA to China and needed to find a new Endocrinologist. The new Endocrinologist for whatever reason decided to take me off of Bromocriptine and put me back on Dostinex despite my warnings and concerns. Once again I am sick and after 4 weeks like this I just decided enough is enough. No more medication. What are my risks for abruptly stopping the Dostinex after 4 doses? What should I look out for since my MRI showed no evidence of the tumor last July?
