| 4 | adjunct to estrogen patch | Breast tenderness, joint pain | No depression as I take an anti-depressant; no dizziness or sleepiness after the initial few days; I take it in morning with other meds (no one instructed me to take it at night!) | F | 59 | 10 days | 5/16/2006 | 2 | to stabilize pregnancy | tiredness, foggy brain, difficulty finding the right words, inability to walk straight | I took it in the morning with my prenatal vitamin. Negative effects seemed to be exacerbated by eating something high in Vitamin C. If I have to take it again, I would only take it at night & not eat anything afterwards. | F | 37 | 15 days | 5/13/2006 | 1 | Induce a period | acne, anxiety, severe depression---wanted to end it and I had never had depression before. Had the worst anxiety and panic attacks after the withdrawal of this. | I took a large dose for about 2 weeks. I became severely depressed and had really negative thinking. The panic attacks and anxiety were horrible---the worst I thing I had ever experienced. I felt like it had changed my brain chemestry and I was soooo depressed. This went on for months. It took my body about 7 months to normalize. | F | 33 | 10 days | 5/10/2006 | 5 | endometrial hyperplasia | Some dizziness. Affected my IBS the first month, but seems OK this month. If continued problems with that, may be asking dr. if I can go back to cream form. | Since my cycle lengthened from every 2 weeks to every 4 weeks, I am very happy with this medicine. Somewhat worried about depression, as have a history of that, but that is managable so far. Would much rather have more cramps with a period, than the risk of cancer from the build-up of the uterine lining and bleeding every 2 weeks. | F | 46 | 2 months | 5/5/2006 | 5 | Transgender HRT Regimen | No negative side effects were observed. | The drug is being used both to facilitate breast development and for tumor suppression in the same. The growth augmentation effect of the medicine is significant. Prometrium did exactly what I wanted it to do. Very satisfied. | F | 49 | 5 months | 4/24/2006 | 2 | Induce period | Dizziness was the main side effect | Periods are irregular. Trying to take to induce period after D&E. I took the pill for 10 days. It has been 10 days since taking the pill w/ no period. This is my second D&E ( the first one took me 3 1/3 months b/f period return so maybe that is where I am headed) | F | 30 | 10 days | 4/5/2006 | 4 | post IVF | Severe cramping, bloating, fatigue, moody, lightheaded | I had to take 200mg 3 times per day vaginally for 12 weeks to promote uterus lining after IVF. It was successfull so I think likely breast tenderness, fatigue and mood swings are likely side effects from pregnancy but cramping and bloating are from prometruim. | F | 35 | 12 weeks | 3/24/2006 | 2 | low progesterone | I was extremely dizzy about an hour after I took it. Very very dizzy, and sleepy!!! | F | 30 | 1 days | 3/23/2006 | 1 | disorganized endometrium | dizziness 1 hr after taking 200 mg pill, tightness in chest, cough, fatigue, breast tenderness, muscle soreness in sternum, ear ringing, anxiety | My DR said this was safest drug they prescribe, no side effects. I felt off from day one but tollerated 9 days until lightheadedness and racing heart sent me to the ER. on day 10. Have been off 7 days and still feel anxiety, breast tenderness. Pain in back of knees yet to be explained. | F | 50 | 9 days | 3/16/2006 | 1 | Induce period | On Day 3 of my 10 day dosage, I suffered a TIA (mini-stroke)and was hospitalized for 2 days. The doctors did not figure it out. On Day 10 I had extreme dizziness. I attribute this to the medicine and still have no period 7 days after my 10 day dosage. | F | 46 | 10 days | 3/12/2006 | 5 | Increase preg progestrone levels | EXHAUSTION, very dry mouth, severe nasal congestion | F | 38 | 6 years | 3/6/2006 | 5 | Increase preg progestrone levels | EXHAUSTION, very dry mouth, severe nasal congestion | F | 38 | 6 weeks | 3/6/2006 | 4 | PCOS | Breast tenderness, moody sometimes especially after coming off it.Also some joint pain. | I take 300mg a day for 10 days to get period it has worked well but I still do not ovulate so I am taking clomid as well hope it works...But it has made my periods regular as long as I take it the 10 days a month. | F | 32 | 10 days | 2/12/2006 | 2 | induce period/PCOS | dizziness/sleepiness 1 hour after dose. Irritability on days 1-2 and then extreme irritability/depression after stopping it on day 10. | Took 400mg every night (oral) for 10 days to induce period. After stopping it i had menstrual cramps/breast tenderness and all the signs of a period but NO bleeding yet after 5 days of stopping it so i am very dissapointed. | F | 30 | 10 days | 2/6/2006 | 2 | Fibroids and heavy bleeding | Irritability, PM leg pains, bloating, depression, prolonged bleeding, headache, can't concentrate, hypertension | I think I'd rather get a hysterectomy than take another cycle of these pills. The bleeding was a little lighter last cycle, so I'll try it for one more month and see how it goes. But my periods have been longer. I was regular before the pills and now my period is 1 week to 2 weeks late. | F | 44 | 3 months | 1/24/2006 | 5 | Low progesterone level in pregnancy | Dizziness, nausea, exhaustion, hot flashes | My progesterone levels are normal now and pregnancy seems viable at 10.5 weeks - longer than 2 prior pregnancies before miscarriage | F | 37 | 28 days | 1/13/2006 | 4 | with estrogen patch for menopause | Sleepiness and rarely some dizziness. I take 100mg every morning because I think the prometrium gives me a calming feeling. My GYN MD seemed surprised and said I was the exception to the rule as most women prefer to take it at bedtime. | I am basically average weight, but feel I have gained weight around the middle, hips and chest. I have to admit that I am less active lately although I do diet. Overall, I feel much better and do not want to stop the HRT. Good luck! | F | 55 | 8 months | 1/6/2006 | 4 | perimenopausal symptons | I am taking 0.5mg estradiol (20 days) then 100mg premetrium for 10 days to address anixety, hot flashes, lack of sleep. I feel bloated and have gained some weight in my midsection but this is also common of menopause. I have had only two periods in the last 8 months since starting meds. Meds have helped with all of my symptoms. | I would like to reduce my dosage to 50 mg a day as I only weigh 87 lbs but there is no oral meds available below 100 mg. I am considering trying cream. | F | 50 | 8 months | 1/2/2006 | 4 | To complement estrogen for menopaus | Dizziness, and extreme if taken with achohol | Must take before bed. Am using estroderm patch 1 mg for menopause and want most natural form of progesterone supplement to prevent uterine cancer. Take it every other or third month for 12 days. Based on my extensive research this safest way to prevent symptoms of menopause; will not take Premarin because of results of NIH study. | F | 54 | 3 years | 12/11/2005 | 4 | Induce Period | Slightly emotional. Sleepy | Taken Prometrium a few times. In the past had one period that was very heavy then two months of hardly any period at all. This month I had a very heavy period for two days, but then was normal. No bad side effects ever though. Just sleepy and a bit emotional. Don't let one person's bad reaction to it keep you away. Not all are the same and people react different to everything. | F | 25 | 4 months | 10/20/2005 |
