hi there, the medication you are taking (dostinex which is carbegoline) is a good medication for controlling high prolactine level. It come from a small benign tumor in the hypophysis. When it is less than 1 cm in diameter, it can be managed with just medication. The doctor should adjust the dose of medication to improve your fatigue. Headache could be related to the size of that mass that will get better with time if your medication dose get adjusted.
Best wishes.
