'''Cabergoline''' is a chemical of the [[lysergamide]] and ergopeptine classes of drugs. It is a derivative of [[LSD]] or more specifically [[AL-LAD]] and shares many effects with related, non-psychedelic compounds such as [[ergotamine]], ergonovine or [[lisuride]]. It is occasionally prescribed to treat symptoms of high prolactin levels and managing Parkinson's disease.

Cabergoline is not predominantly psychedelic but rather excerts its effects strongest at the [[Dopamine]] D<sub>2</sub> receptor as an agonist and comparitavely little on the [[Serotonin]] 5-HT<sub>2A</sub> receptor, as a partial agonist.

Cabergoline has little recreational value exclusively due to its unique property of reducing or eliminating the male refractory period, thereby allowing men to experience multiple ejaculatory orgasms in rapid succession.<ref>Krüger TH, Haake P, Haverkamp J, et al.
