| 5 | menstruation lasting 3 weeks | no side effects | stopped the bleeding, have no complaints, don't eat sugar or carbs so I didn't have the cravings there. | F | 45 | 6 days 200mg 1X day | 5/9/2010 | 2 | Amenorrhea..no period for over a yr | I took my first 200mg pill this morning at 7:30am..haven't experienced anything out of the ordinary..I usually don't experience side effects from meds..so I duno! Well see after my 2nd dose tonight! | Not too sure if this is going to do anything if my mind isn't in it also..like I said no side effects! Still having a little symptoms of my "menopause" but they haven't worsened bc of the pills.. | F | 25 | 5 days 200mg 2X day | 5/6/2010 Patient History | 4 | Uterine Fibroid, excessive estrogen | So far I haven't experienced any negative affects. I take it before bed. | I seem to be sleeping through the night again. My hot flashes have diminished. I'm taking this because I researched information on uterine fibroids and thyroid disorders. It seem an over abundance of estrogen is a cause for both of these. I hope this does the trick, sure beats hysto! | F | 47 | 3 days 100 mg 1X day | 4/30/2010 | 4 | was told to take at bedtime. when I first started taking I felt light headed, had restless dreaming, tired all the time and had to urinate many times during the night and day. Now after 4 mo. symptoms are less dramatic. I am not sure how long I need to continue with since my surgery. | F | 52 | 120 days 100mg 1X day | 4/26/2010 | 4 | Sustain Pregnancy | Very tired, dizzy | I wish my doc would have said I can take both dosages of Prometrium at the same time, and at night. About 1 hour after taking I am having to struggle to keep my eyes open. I've had several miscarriages, and at 10dpo my Progesterone level was 17.3. Not bad, but ideally it would be above 25. So far I am happy, 1st tri with DS I was tired and dizzy as well, and wasn't taking Progesterone. Whatever it takes! | M | 38 | 1 weeks 200 2X day | 4/20/2010 | 2 | menopause symptoms | I have had some neurological concerns. It makes me feel dizzy, and uncomfortable in my head. After about 4 months I had an EEG and it came back "abnormal" but unexplainable. Still, when I try to go off, I feel miserable with hot flashes and insomnia. What to do? | F | 56 | 6 months 200 mg 1X day | 4/18/2010 | 2 | lack of period | bloating, relaxed feeling almost not caring | I took this medication to bring on my period. It's been 11 days since my last dose and still no period. I'm not sure it's working at this point although I have a few symptoms like cramping. Doctor said they might increase my dose if my period does not start in the next 5 days. | F | 34 | 10 days 100 1X day | 4/14/2010 | 3 | amenorrhea | Extreme dizziness about half an hour after taking this medication, very irritable and on edge, very tired | I am about 8 months post-partum and still have not had a period. Dr. prescribed 200mg for 12 days. The first day I became very dizzy shortly after taking it... almost felt drunk. Have been on it for about a week now and feel completely exhausted and become irritated very easily... kind of depressed. Not good in a patient with a history of depression and syncope. Sleep well at night, although my husband tells me that I have been restless. | F | 26 | 12 days 200 1X day | 4/13/2010 | 3 | in combination with clomid, regulat | Extreme fatigue, almost a drunk feeling; dizzy, sleepy, tender breasts, spotting from 8dpo onwards, slight nausea | I recommend taking it at night. | F | 25 | 3 months 400 1X day | 4/12/2010 | 4 | Premature Ovarian Faillure-HRT | Drunk, dizzy, euphoria, lasts an hour or two then back to normal | Kinda fun to take at home, not so fun at work. Don't get the side effects everytime, seems to be random. Sometimes to the point I would NOT drive. | F | 29 | 12 days 200mg 1X day | 4/10/2010 | 3 | IVF - ICSI regiment | dizzy, foggy head, lack of motivation, wanting to sleep all the time, but waking up agitated and irritated, frequent urination, extreme mood swings, emotional | I took 200 mg x3 times a day orally, and 200mg x3 times a day vaginally as soon as I ovulated for IVF/ICSI with donour eggs. The drug made me crazy. I wish I had researched it, as I thought I was losing my mind. I was dizzy/sleepy initially, then extremely emotional and agitated. I would fall asleep quickly, but wake up agitated and irritated. At 12 weeks pregnant (and I spent a great amount of money to get pregnant) I walked into an abortion clinic and had an abortion. My baby was very much wanted, but between the meds, and my hormones, I lost it, and am trying to find a way to cope with what I did. 8 months later, I am trying again; on the same dosage, but with supports in place. Just waiting for pregnancy test this time. | F | 40 | 10 weeks oral 200mg 3X day | 4/9/2010 | 3 | Start period | Extremely dizzy, headaches, BAD stomach pains throughout the day, diarrhea, MAJOR irritability | Took to jumpstart my period, that's been missing for almost three months. While I slept really well on the medicine (I took it before bed), the other side effects were less than desiriable. I seriously felt drunk this morning, and didn't feel safe driving my car. This drug has given me the worst case of PMS-like sympotoms I've ever had! It did the trick through, on the 9th day of the meds, my period came. | F | 27 | 10 days 400mg 1X day | 3/29/2010 | 3 | induce period | I was prescribed prometrium to induce my period which has been non-existant for over 2 months. I read the other comments and decided to take the medication in the evening. So far, the only side effect I seem to have is that I wake up with a mild headache which seems to go away by mid-morning. The two nights I took the medication, I seemed to have strange dreams both nights. I'm not sure if this is related to the medication. Other than that, no other side effects and no period yet. | F | 35 | 2 days 100 1X day | 3/28/2010 | 3 | Regulate periods/clean out lining | All of a sudden feel dizzy and drowsy, and can't focus on tasks. It's only day 2, so I'm hoping it will pass. I will shift taking it till bedtime to help there. I was surprised at this feeling! | So good to see all of the other comments... I took the drug back when trying to conceive in my 30's,and recall good experiences. Also, took it's relative to help maintain pregnacies--perfect! Three healthy pregnancies, yielding 4 kids!! | F | 40 | 10 days 200 mg 1X day | 3/25/2010 | 4 | bring on period/sustain pregnancy | Took it to bring on period, irregular and few times during 3 years. The dose was 200 mg twice a day and 30 min after felt dizzy and drunk, not fun at work, went away after about 1 hour. Dr. assistant suggested to take at night then set alarm to take at about 1 am. That seemed to work. Now I am taking to sustain pregnancy after having had 1 miscarriage, I can put up with the side effects for this. | F | 43 | 7 days 100 mg 3X day | 3/22/2010 | 4 | induce menstration | 20-30 minutes after taking it, I felt dizzy and drunk. This feeling went away after about 2 hours. The rest of the time I just felt lazy. Overall a fun course of medication | I am glad I took this medication over spring break because I have to take it twice a day and showing up to class feeling drunk is not a good idea on a dry campus. | F | 18 | 5 days 200mg 2X day | 3/17/2010 | 5 | Hot flashes, menopausal symtoms | No side affects | Started taking 3 weeks ago for severe hot flashes. I was having hot flashes at least 3 times per hour that would induce sweat on my chest which was very uncomfortable. I might have 1 or 2 hot flashes per day now, but not even sure as they are so mild. It was felt that I was estrogen dominant which was causing the hot flashes, so I am not taking with any estrogen replacement. Was hoping this perhaps would help me with weight gain, but have not noticed any progress in this area as of yet. Anyone else? | F | 50 | 3 weeks 100 1X day | 3/12/2010 | 5 | extreme hot flashes and early meno | Taken at night, it makes falling asleep wonderful. Must take it only at night or it makes you groggy in day. Hot flashes absolutely disappeared. Breast size slightly increased. Noticed a slight dizziness one day at the gym. Still..I say it rocks!! | Best drug I have ever been prescribed. | F | 48 | 3 months 200 1X day | 3/10/2010 | 4 | Pain/heavy bleeding--menopausal | I was looking on this site to see if anyone was experiencing headaches as I thought this med might be giving me daily headaches when I wake up. Haven't seen anyone saying that. | I went to a GYN specialist as my pain and bleeding were so bad. I sometimes couldn't leave the house for fear of bleeding all over. Thought I was going to have to have lazer surgery to clean out inside. However, since being on prometrium these symptoms have gone away. I haven't had any of the other symptoms that people are talking about and now am post-menopausal. I still have at least one or two hot flashes in the middle of the night, but so much better than every hour and full blown sweats. Moodiness is better although i still have it. Doc says some symptoms will last for many years. I had peri-menopause symptoms for at least 10 years and then menopause and now the aftermath...THE PITS! | F | 54 | 2 years 100mg 1X day | 3/10/2010 | 4 | perimenopause-w/ estrogen replacmnt | slight dizziness, relaxed- take at night is best. | I take this 12 days/month to make me slough off the uterine lining that builds up now that I'm on an estrogen replacement patch. Without it I would be at increased risk for uterine cancer. It works well-though sometimes I have a heavy "period" with it. My estrogen replacement patch was an almost instant fix of my hot flashes/perimenopause symptoms. Wonderful! Dont be miserable, girls-sometimes drugs are good! | F | 49 | 8 months 200mg 10X M | 3/9/2010 |
