Hello Nigel: I may have to go to Cabergoline if my Pergolide lets me down,
If you can answer the following questions I would be grateful.

a) How much pergolide were you  taking wen you changed to Cabergoline

b) Were you taking any levodopa at all

c) If Yes, did you change the dose of Levodopa?
Regards,
