| 3 | regulate period | Im not exactly sure how to describe my side effects. I have been off of the medication for about a week now, and I feel awful..out of sorts, not myself, tired, very emotional. | F | 29 | 12 days | 2/17/2005 | 1 | To induce period | Bloating, cramping, period like cramps for days after stopped taking it yet no period | would not take again | F | 35 | 7 days | 2/8/2005 | 1 | Heavy post-menopausal bleeding | Beware of extreme dizziness!

I begin feeling light-headed and | I am not allergic to peanuts, I have had some sensitivity to progesterone previously, and have taken a lower dose of Prometrium about 5 years ago. It was prescribed to stop bleeding but didn't work in the time frame. I had a D&C (all pathology normal) which I recovered from perfectly. | F | 55 | 4 days | 2/8/2005 | 5 | induce absence of periods/pcos | no side effects | Took 1 pill per day for 10 days to induce periods. Got period 3-4 days into it. By month 3 my period began on its own for the first time in almost a year! Hopefull that ovulation will regulate also. I highly recommend it for other pcos gals! | F | 26 | 4 months | 2/6/2005 | 2 | Induce period | Very, very sleepy. I had to go to bed within an hour after taking it. | Definitely, recommend taking this in the evening. Not sure yet if the meds work yet...it has been three days, and still no period. I took Provera last month and that didn't work. | F | 27 | 14 days | 1/26/2005 | 2 | menopausal symptoms | depression | F | 53 | 3 months | 1/16/2005 | 1 | induce period | Face broke out, bloated. After withdrawl, I experienced anxiety, major depression, insomnia. It was the worst drug I had ever taken. | I was given 400 mg for 14 days to induce per. After 9 days, I could no longer take it and discontinued it. I had the worst withdrawl---shaking, anxiety, depression, insomnia. Watch out for this----it can really jack yuo up. I could not stop crying. | F | 35 | 9 days | 1/16/2005 | 3 | low progesterone..prevent miscarria | Abdominal cramps, gas, brown blood, somolence | My initial progesterone was 12.4 at 6 weeks pregnant. I took 200 three times a day by mouth and my score was 100 at 7 weeks pregnant. My new dr had me decrease to 200 once a day. The cramps have reduced but I still feel wiped out after I take the medication. | F | 31 | 12 days | 11/30/2004 | 2 | preventive for hormonal migraines | hot flashes lasting for hours at a time, extreme dizziness | Side effects were so bad I had to stop.

Surprisingly, I'd used natural progesterone creme in the past & had no such side effects. | F | 50 | 9 days | 11/21/2004 | 3 | Hormone replacement | weight gain, depression, macular degeneration, low blood sugar, headaches | Guaranteed to become sleepy and get rest. It is not proven that this hormone caused Macualar degeneration, but I strongly suspect that because the sugar and hormones were not effectively regulated that the menopause issues surfaced anyway. | F | 45 | 7 years | 11/18/2004 | 1 | Heavy menstrual bleeding | Dizziness, severe abdominal pain, bloating, facial breakouts and mood swings. | This medicine only made the situation WORSE!! In addition to the side effects, it caused constant HEAVY clotting. It was a waste of money, time, and pain! My doctor did NOT tell me about the side effects, but suggested I remain taking it. Aleve did help for the pain for about 8 hours. I know everyone's system isn't the same, but I DON'T recommend this medicine to anyone!! Since I've taken myself off the medication, the situation is much better. I'm also seeing another doctor. | F | 27 | 1.5 weeks | 11/10/2004 | 2 | to induce period after 5 months w/o | extreme headache & backache which would not respond to Tylenol, Advil or Alleve, cramps, depression, anxiety for several days after finishing my dosage. | Prometrium | F | 31 | 5 days | 10/21/2004 | 1 | induce a period | no side effects, took at night | took 200mg for 7 days and supposed to get a period 7 days after...still nothing 6 days after | F | 29 | 7 days | 10/15/2004 | 2 | to avoid miscarriage | headaches, fatigue, sore breasts, spotting before period, bloating, nausea, cramping, burping | F | 30 | 3 months | 9/29/2004 | 4 | Protect uterine lining | dizziness and | I was instructed to take 400mg at night for 15 days starting Sept 1st, then stop.
