| 5 | heavy bleeding due to fibroids | this medicine is a godsend.it has helped me so much with my periods. I have a normal life agian and do stuff when im on my period. | F | 52 | 2 years 650 mg | 3/2/2013 | 5 | Very Heavy Periods & Bad Cramps | Headache & Stuffy Nose but it is worth it. | This is fantastic. I used to have horrible extremely heavy and painful periods that lasted for about 7 days. Now my periods are very light (like spotting almost) and completely pain free and only last for 3 days. I would highly recommend this. | F | 19 | 7 months 3X D | 5/19/2012 | 5 | Heavy Mentrual Bleeding | There were no side effects at all | This drug is amazing. It helped my heavy bleeding considerably with no side effects. And while the recommended dose is 1300mg 3x a day for 5 days, i find that 650mg 3x a day for 5 days works just as well, so if you start this drug, ask your doctor if you can start at a lower dose. | F | 43 | 6 months 650 mg 3X D | 1/13/2011 | 4 | Dysmenorrhea and heavy periods | None that outweighed my dysmenorrhea. | For 5 years since the birth of my youngest, I have experienced the most excruciating pain with my cycle. I have never experienced painful periods before her birth. I also have what my OB suspects as "retrograde blood flow" -- which means the periods were so heavy the blood would flow back up thru the fallopians and into my abdomen. Also, since I got pregnant with my youngest daughter while on BC, I have had reactions to all BC since. I refused an IUD and opted to "suffer" monthly. My OB gave me a sample of Lysteda and it has helped. I still have bad cramping, but the flow is much less, more tolerable and I don't feel like Carrie on prom night. | F | 36 | 5 months 2 tabs 3X D | 1/24/2013 | 3 | Heavy Cycle | Prolonged cycles. While on pills will dramatically decrease flow and produced a lot of clotting, (not for sure is the drug is suppose to produce clotting). Once I stop taking because I only took on my heavy days my cycle will start again with periodic spotting days later. I will discontinue use at this time to see if its the pills or something else | I have recommended this product to others and they as well have discontinued use for various reasons. | F | 36 | 4 months 650mg 3X D | 10/31/2012 | 2 | Heavy Period | Room-spinning dizziness and headache. Some anxiety but that might be just a reaction to the dizziness. | The first go round, my period stopped after the 1st dose. Unfortunately, the last three rounds I have taken it, have not lessened the bleeding one iota. | F | 47 | 4 months 1300 mg 3X D | 10/18/2011 | 1 | to control heavy cycles | The first month I didn't recognize any side effects. I thought this was a miracle drug. I did notice that I started suffering from chronic fatigue. I thought it was because I had been out of the country and picked up a bug. The next month I suffered blurred vision and an ocular migraine, still I didn't make the connection to the medication. I did realize that the dose I took the first month was too much so the second month I cut it in 1/2. It still worked great for my period so I didn't even think about the fact that my back hurt a little and I had a stuffy nose, and I had blurry vision. I thought dry eyes, left over illness from being out of the country. Then the third month came around and I took the medicine and had the strongest reaction. (In the mean time I had been to the dr and they diagnosed me with anemia, another side effect I was unaware of) The third time on the medicine I had a very bad headache, shortness of breath, chestpain, blurred vision, extreme fatigue, sinu | F | 41 | 3 months 65 3X D | 9/20/2012 |
