PROGESTERONE  (PROGESTERONE):  Progesterone is a type of female hormone (progestin). This medication is similar to the progesterone that your body naturally makes and is given to replace the hormone when your body is not making enough of it. In women who are not pregnant and not going through menopause, this medication is used to restore normal menstrual periods that have stopped for several months (amenorrhea). Progesterone is also used as part of combination hormone replacement therapy with estrogens to reduce menopause symptoms (e.g., hot flashes). Progesterone is added to estrogen replacement therapy to reduce the risk of cancer of the uterus. This medication is not for use in children. Progesterone must not be used to test for pregnancy.    (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 1  PMS HELL. Do not touch this if you have PMS, this will not help it. I thought I was going insane. The first night I took it, I had horrible insomnia. From there it spiraled into the following: intense irrational fear of death/dying, intense depression/crying episodes, fear of loved ones dying, fear of driving, suicidal thoughts, INTENSE panic episodes, which developed into full blown agoraphobia. I had horrible cystic acne, no weight gain but I was in therapy and barely left my house. I almost lost my job and marriage. After SIX MONTHS, I am FINALLY beginning to get back to myself and do things on my own without panicking. PLEASE PLEASE do not touch this stuff. DO NOT. I took it because I read SO much that it cured PMS induced anxiety/mood swings, and it just intensified this to an insane level. I thought I was going crazy! F 28 15 days

 5  Low levels of hormones None on the progesterone, but was taking estriol in the beginning with it and the estriol was the one that made me feel bad. Once I just took the progesterone by itself, I felt great. No more hot flashes, slept better, skin looks so much better and younger. I can tell when I need more because of the estrogen dominance symptoms, i.e. headaches, dizziness, aches and pains. I just take a little more of the progesterone and they go away. If you are having problems with taking progesterone, make sure it is bio-identical and you are taking enough. Too little stimulates estrogen, hence the bad side effects. Also, if you are taking estrogen of any type with it, you cannot blame the progesterone! F 45 2 years

 1  PMS Gained 10 pounds, severe insomnia, didn't sleep for 2 weeks, then could only sleep for 3 hours at a time, severe day time brain fog, day time fatigue, depression. This progesterone cream destroyed my life. Literally, I went from a healthy, yoga 3 times a week, within my weight range person, to a 10 pound over weight, fatigued, can't even remember to pack my kids lunch in the morning, person in a year. I stopped taking this monster 4 months ago and I am still having brain fog, severe daytime fatigue that I can't work, barely able to pick up my kids from school. Want to sleep all day long. I hate who I have become, and it's all from being on this "PMS miracle- that is safe and every woman should take it - and can't overdose on it" NO you won't die... you will just wish you were dead! Not only that-- this poison takes over a year to leave your body. Do the research. I am STILL SUFFERING 4 months after my last dose. Please don't take it. PMS is not worth giving up you life. (My cortisol, thyroid, and testosterone levels are all now all of of whack while my body is try to get back to where it was before I poisoned myself for a year). It's a rough road out of this progesterone hell. Don't go down it! F 39 1 years

 1  Stop long, heavy menstrual cycle I took OTC Progesterone cream in place of the provera that my doctor prescribed to me to stop a long, heavy period. My period did stop, but I felt like I was going crazy and going to die in the three days that I took the cream. I took about 80-120 mg the 1st two days. Today I only took 40 mg which was the third day but after taking it I knew I shouldn't anymore as I have never felt like this in my entire life. I am 40 next week and experienced my first heavy/pre-menopausal/hormonal period. I think I would have rather bled for another month than feel like I felt today. My head and neck were killing me, like I got slammed in the head with a bat. Hormonal, period headache to the 3rd degree. My legs felt heavy and I felt like I was float walking on the verge of passing out. My ears have been ringing for the last 3 days since I started taking the cream. My period did stop, and I will just deal with what happens next. I'd rather get my uterus scraped and cauterized than deal with t I'd have to say to stay away and try to get healthy and balance hormones by exercise and diet. Natural herbs like raspberry tea and vitex. I was taking both of those with little ill effects at all. I took shepards purse as well which was ok and slowed down the bleeding but didn't make me feel just insane and like I was dying. I literally thought I was dying today after using the cream for 3 days. F 39 3 days

 1  Estrogen dominance Anxious, severely depressed, tired, night sweats, tingling in fingers, feeling of hopelessness, severe fatigue, dry eyes It's the 6th day on progesterone. I came into my room to look up if progesterone could be the cause of feeling severely depressed. This was the site that came up. I'm glad to know I am not alone and that stopping it is the right thing for me to do. F 33 6 days

 1  Induce period/no pd 8 months after the first dose(I took nightly) I felt different. I had started a healthy diet and exercise 2 weeks prior to the start of progesterone. I had energy and in had lost 5 lbs. the next day after my first dose I felt horrible. No energy and just blah. I kept taking nightly for 9 days....until I went shopping and could not fit slip on shoes. I've been compliant with my diet and exercise and I drink plenty of water. But the fluid retention became horrible. Anxious, short tempered, impatient, depression got worse, lost my energy I had just gained back. I'm stopping the pills with 5 days left. And I asked my dr about side effectswhen he told me what he was prescribing. He told me none with short term use. NOT TRUE !!! Let nature take its course F 46 9 days
