Also very tired during the day. | F | 43 | 2 days 100 mg 1X day | 1/1/2011 | 4 | Bioidentical HRT in perimenopause | None | I'm sleeping through the night and my anxiety is much less. My weight hasn't changed. I take this at night as directed. My estrogen levels are very high so we are trying to get that balanced. | F | 47 | 45 days 100 mg 1X day | 12/23/2010 | 1 | for inducing periods | I was prescribed prometrium 200mg for a period of 10 days.i have used it but even after 7 days of stopping the drug i could not get the withdrawal bleeding, is it that the dose is not enough or the drug is not working?i have earlier tried withdrawal with other forms of progesterone and they worked.im plannig for conception and this is is worrying me a lot and disturbing my concentration since im too worried that why did my withdrawal bleeding start yet. somebody please advice. | F | 30 | 10 days 200mg 1X day | 12/10/2010 | 2 | perimenopause | Constant headache,brain fog,fatigue,irritability,anxiety,lack of focus, bloating, heavy long periods and waist to toe leg aches. Symptoms began to occur gradually after second month, but have become very severe. | My Gyn prescibed 100mg to be taken before bed after I missed four periods and was having trouble sleeping. Worked like a dream the first cycle, but then many symptoms began to appear. I started researching because it did not seem to be effective after four months and I am having many PMS symptoms. After reading this site, I now realize that these are all side effects and am discontinuing the medication. It is just not worth it. I feel very anxious, even waking at night worrying about minor things. I feel overwhelmed by my to do list and also lack energy and drive. I have a constant headache, and long heavy periods. I am having memory problems. I know my husband and teenagers think I'm loosing it or have early dementia. I was starting to wonder myself. Thanks to everyone for sharing their experiences. | F | 48 | 10 days 100 1X day | 12/7/2010 | 5 | sustain pregnancy- 1st trimester | severe nausea, some vomiting, and very dizzy | I lost my first baby at 5 and 1/2 weeks pregnant. God sent me an amazing doctor that knew right away what the problem was. I had low progestion levels. I became pregnant 2 months later and right away my doctor put me on prometrium. I am 12 weeks pregnant today and get to stop taking the medicine! The baby is healthy and doing great. Between the amazing God I worship and the very smart doctor God gave me, I am now very hopeful for the future of my baby that I will get to hold in 6 months! Don't give up on this medicine. It my make you feel horrible but just keep in mind the prize at the end! Praise God! | F | 20 | 12 weeks 200 MG 2X day | 12/2/2010 | 1 | Stop My bleeding | Serious stomach ache- bloated, feel like I'm going to explode! I'm on day 7 and I can't continue! | I started taking following 14 days of serious peri-menopausal bleeding. I would rather keep bleeding then feel like this! The dreams were horrible- I dreamed I gave birth to a centipede! The first day was ok but after 3 days (thanksgiving)I ended up on the emergency room. The doctors did all sorts of invasive tests trying to figure out what was wrong. I was put on iv and felt better. Now it's been 6 days and I feel even worst. Just read these comments and I am going to stop right now. | F | 46 | 10 days 100 1X day | 11/29/2010 | 4 | Help w/perimenopausal symptoms. | Some breast tenderness, bloating, but MUCH, MUCH better sleep finally! Hair & skin also better, along w/mood adjustment. | Previously was on 200mg for 10days/mo, but then somehow I began bleeding thru out. Hoping the 100mg will work, but I do still have monthly periods & may have to adjust dosage (wondering if 200mg for part of the month & then 100mg per symptoms might work-?). I do also use the vivelle patch 2x wk. For the yoga instructor who had problems w/200mg, perhaps her dosage is too high & should ask her doc about 100mg? This website has been VERY helpful! | F | 52 | 90 days 100mg 1X day | 11/28/2010 | 5 | HRT | No negative side effects. Sleeping much better, and hair and skin improvements too. Good choice for me. | Also using estradiol patch low dose. Did need to adjust dosage to sort out hot flashes and some spotting. Worth every minute of working to get it right. | F | 54 | 18 months 200 mg 1X day | 11/18/2010 | 1 | pms symptoms | Dizzy, exhausted, memory loss, feel intoxicated, depressed, bloating, breast tenderness | I am a very healthy 45 year old ( yoga instructor ) who went to my Dr. with slight pms syptoms. Prescribed this drug and feel like I can't even function let alone work. Not worth it! | F | 45 | 30 days 200 mg 1X day | 11/17/2010 | 5 | menopause symptoms | tired, sore breast | I am 50 yr old woman. hypothyroid. has severe night sweats, anxiety, shakey twitch legs at night. I take the prometrium and menest at night. Has greatly improved my sleep and I feel better overall because of that alone. No negative side effects. Breasts were rather sore first few months but that has passed. | F | 50 | 1 years 200mg 1X day | 11/14/2010 | 4 | luteal phase defect - TTC | Take this at night if at all possible! It makes me very sleepy, but I feel okay in the morning. Also, I have had a dull heartburn feeling since my first dose. It may be my imagination, but I feel like I am calmer than normal - less anxiety and more optimistic. | I was scared after reading this site, but the side effects have not been that bad!!! | F | 29 | 4 days 400 MG 1X day | 11/13/2010 | 4 | sustain pregnancy | VERY tired, dizzy, nauseated, headaches | My first pregnancy ended in miscarriage at about 7 weeks. For my second pregnancy, my Dr. put me on progesterone (vaginal) 50 mg once per day due to low progesterone and I delivered a healthy boy. I did not have side effects. For my third pregnancy, I was on progesterone (vaginal) 50 mg twice a day and again, no side effects. I delivered a healthy girl. This time around, I had to go up to 200 mg twice a day orally. I'm at 10 weeks now with my pregnancy and hoping my OB takes me off of this soon. I am EXTREMELY tired all the time, have a hard time functioning at work. Also quite nauseated. I am thankful that we have this drug though and that my Dr. believes in using it to sustain early pregnancy. I think low progesterone levels/corpus luteum insufficiency would cause more miscarriages for me if I weren't taking this. | F | 32 | 3 weeks 200 mg 2X day | 11/12/2010 | 1 | Perimenapause-regulate periods | When I first try to fall asleep, my heart races and can't fall asleep and then the extreme dopiness kicks in and feel out of it. Extremely drowsy-out of it, especially if I have a glass of wine with it. Do not like the drowsy feeling. Also feel drowsy in the morning too. Stomach pain and indigestion too | I was instructed to take this medicine at bedtime for the 1st 10 days of the month and then after that I was told I would get my period and I'm supposed to take it for 3 months. In addition to the side effects, I got my period before I was done taking the medicine, which defeats the purpose of trying to regulate my periods. I really don't like this medicine...I think I may take my chances and deal with irregular periods - it's better than being doped up. | F | 46 | 10 days 200mg 1X day | 11/11/2010 | 3 | to induce period | I was skeptical at first when my fertility doctor recommended this medicine- I thought if I havent started yet, maybe this month I will just start on my own. however this is day 6 for me and as of yesterday I am feeling fatigued, hungry, night sweats, slightly emotional, bloated and feeling just plain lazy | I am hoping that this will induce my period, I have had reuglar cycles until last month due to alot of stress and extreme exercise. My husband and I are going through in-fertility factors right now and seeing a specialist- I did not realize that being 37 yrs old how hard it would be to conceive | F | 37 | 6 days 200 1X day | 11/10/2010 | 1 | peri-menopause | Within one hour of taking it, I had a huge herpes simplex eruption and stomach pain and stomach acid that has been going on now for over 12 hours and nothing is helping. | I am reading that less than 5% of people have this type of reaction. Be warned that if you have LONG DORMANT herpes, this will bring it on within minutes! This drug is very strong. | F | 49 | 1 days 100 mg 1X day | 11/10/2010 | 4 | TTC, low progesterone, ovulate | trouble waking up in the morning, afternoon sleepiness, dry eyes, | I have only been taking this medicine for 5 days and the only side effects I have are trouble waking up in the morning and the feeling I need an afternoon nap. I started taking mine at 10am everyday and have been ok so far. I was diagnosed with annovulatory cycles (approx 56 days long). TTC hopefully this works. :-) | F | 27 | 10 days 100mg 1X day | 11/6/2010 | 4 | Induce period | Drunk and dizzy feeling, incredible fatigue, nightmares, could sleep for an entire day if I took it in the morning. | On day 5 of Prometrium. Side effects are very strong. | F | 26 | 7 days 200mg 1X day | 11/3/2010 | 4 | Inducing period to ovulate | Makes you feel drunk and some bloating. The bloating got worse on the 7th day. It's best to take after you eat something. I took it one time on a empty stomach and I felt very intoxicated for about an hour. | So far this is my eight day, so no results yet. | F | 28 | 10 days 2X day | 11/2/2010 | 5 | induce period | breast tenderness,sleepy,cramps,bloated | my gyn put me on this med because of not having a period for 7months also ttc..i love this med it made me have my period after 3 days off and I'm glad it worked after trying so many meds in the past..i was a lil scared after reading some of the post but the side effects are not as horrible as they sound you will have to see for ur self good luck to all | F | 22 | 10 days 200mg 2X day | 10/25/2010 | 3 | Heavy bleeding period lasting23days | Headache, muscle cramps, diarrhea, exhaustion | I was put on Prometrium due to heavy vaginal bleeding and a period lasting about 23 days. The ER doctor gave me the pills to stop the bleeding. So far, it has slowed the bleeding down but hasn't completely stopped it. I'm supposed to take it for 10 days, but I am not enjoying the constant headache and tiredness. | F | 19 | 2 days 200MG 1X day | 10/25/2010 |
