Is Cabergoline Prescribed For Pituitary Micro Adenoma Advisable Over Long Run?

I am 26 years old and I have been taking Cabergolin 0.5 once a week on and off for almost 5 years for a pituitary microadenoma. I have been irregular with its usage. My prolactin levels are normal when I take it regularly and they increase when I stop. How long can I keep taking this treatment wiyhoug side effects? Is there anything else that I can do? The pituitary microadenoma has not been growing as noticed by yearly MRIs. But it hasn t shrunk either. Please advise.
