| Abstract |
Bromocriptine is an ergot-derived dopamine agonist. Its current uses include the treatment of Parkinson's disease, postpartum ablaction, prolactinomas, acromegaly, and amenorrhea and galactorrhea secondary to neuroleptic use. It is often reported to produce psychiatric side effects such as confusion, hallucinations, and delusions. The literature is reviewed and supports a strong anecdotal relationship between bromocriptine use and psychosis. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 19 November 2022.
All research outputs
#7,591,661
of 23,146,350 outputs
Outputs from Psychiatric Quarterly
#219
of 629 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#7,552
of 24,821 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Psychiatric Quarterly
#1
of 3 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,146,350 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 629 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 12.0. This one is in the 45th percentile – i.e., 45% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 24,821 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 8th percentile – i.e., 8% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 3 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
