Vaginal & uterine ache | Was to begin by taking daily for 10 days & then 3 days a week after that.. No negatives for first 7 days & then vaginal area swelling & aching but figured it was just working. On the 9th day & suddenly had Visual issues....Migraine with Aura. Flashing lights & distortions but never the headache. Not a normal occurrence for me. Scared me & I stopped meds. Not good for my body. | F | 67 | 9 days 10 mcg 1X day | 4/1/2019 | 4 | Dryness | None that I know of. I’ve been taking it for years. | I used to take this more often when I was younger. I took Novo Nordisk and had no problems, then pharmacy switched to Teva and had abdominal cramps, headache, bloating, vag gas. I’ve had to buy Novo Nordisk from Canada. If I have problems with meds now, I check the generic. It can make a difference. Check out The Peoples Pharmacy on line, good info. | F | 70 | 3X M | 3/16/2019 | 1 | Water infections | Awful migraines , a racing heart , Pains in tummy . Swollen heavy legs put on 9lbs , going for extra wees in night different colour , | I take of this drug after 4 weeks Do not recommend at all | F | 48 | 4 weeks 10 mg | 3/13/2019 | 3 | Vaginal dryness | At first it was great. I started getting relief within 3 days. 3 months in, I was telling my friends how great it was. I even convinced my sister who is one year older than me, to try it. After about 6 months I started noticing the dryness coming back. I also started losing my hair. I quit taking it 2 weeks ago, I am noticing my hair is not falling out now. I’m hoping it grows back. My sister also experienced the same problems I did and quit using it as well. | F | 53 | 9 months 10mg | 2/10/2019 | 1 | Vaginal Dryness | 2 or 3 hours after inserting vagifem tablet I suddenly felt really anxious. Came out of nowhere. Then not long after, was walking for no more than 5 minutes up a small hill and felt breathless (I’m never breathless and exercise daily). Once I got home after this short 10 minute walk I had intense anxiety. I progresively felt odd, disconnected, and could hardly focus on a conversation with my husband. At some point in all this I experienced rapid heartbeat. Couldn’t take it anymore and went into bathroom to fish that tablet out of me! Symptoms abated soon there after. A couple years ago I tried Vagifem for a short spell. I had similar symptoms but thought then maybe they were ‘all in my head’. Not the case. The symptoms were the same and very real indeed. Menopause has been a horrible journey for me. And many times I’ve let doctors dismiss my symptoms or reactions to drugs as being somehow not real. I’ve learned the hard way to trust what I feel and act accordingly. | F | 55 | 1 days 10 microgr | 2/9/2019 | 2 | Vaginal dryness | Mild abdominal cramping, mild headaches, external itching and burning, abdominal swelling, leg swelling, weight gain. | Tried the pessaries...after 7 days I had the most awful thrush and burning on my outer labia ..I had to sit in cold water to cool it down..this went on for 3 more days, so I stopped it and saw my doc who advised me to try again after the thrush had gone. 3 weeks later I tried using it again while prepping my vagina with multi gyn which prevented any irritation. This time however I noticed my weight increasing and my abdomen seemed slightly bloated. Also my legs felt as tho they were swelling as I started to feel uncomfortable in my slim fitting jeans. So after 8 days I decided to bin it! I also had headaches both times and also groin cramping. I'll go down the natural route thanks ... | F | 60 | 18 days 10 mcg | 1/29/2019 |
