4 | Uterine fibroids and heavy periods | No side effects | For me, Lysteda is better than taking birth control to lessen/stop the bleeding. The first time I had to take it the bleeding lessened within hours (I had been changing sanitary products every other hour a day and doubling protection at night), and within 3 days it stopped. On the last occurrence although I had lighter bleeding, it took the entire 5 day dose before the flow lessened considerably. | F | 52 | 5 days 1300 3X day | 11/2/2012 | 3 | Heavy Cycle | Prolonged cycles. While on pills will dramatically decrease flow and produced a lot of clotting, (not for sure is the drug is suppose to produce clotting). Once I stop taking because I only took on my heavy days my cycle will start again with periodic spotting days later. I will discontinue use at this time to see if its the pills or something else | I have recommended this product to others and they as well have discontinued use for various reasons. | F | 36 | 4 months 650mg 3X day | 10/31/2012 | 4 | Heavy period/sharp pains in vagina | Back pain and extreme leg pain to the point where I stopped taking it. I go in on Monday, 10/8 to my Dr. | I only used it for 2 months and I saw a MAJOR change in my cycles. The leg pain will not go away and I recalled that its one of the side effects, so I stopped taking the meds. I love having light, managebale periods, but my leg and back pain outweighs it and I just want the pain to stop. | F | 39 | 4 days 6X day | 10/3/2012 | 1 | to control heavy cycles | The first month I didn't recognize any side effects. I thought this was a miracle drug. I did notice that I started suffering from chronic fatigue. I thought it was because I had been out of the country and picked up a bug. The next month I suffered blurred vision and an ocular migraine, still I didn't make the connection to the medication. I did realize that the dose I took the first month was too much so the second month I cut it in 1/2. It still worked great for my period so I didn't even think about the fact that my back hurt a little and I had a stuffy nose, and I had blurry vision. I thought dry eyes, left over illness from being out of the country. Then the third month came around and I took the medicine and had the strongest reaction. (In the mean time I had been to the dr and they diagnosed me with anemia, another side effect I was unaware of) The third time on the medicine I had a very bad headache, shortness of breath, chestpain, blurred vision, extreme fatigue, sinu | F | 41 | 3 months 65 3X day | 9/20/2012 | 5 | Heavy menstrual bleeding | No side effects. This slowed my horrible bleeding to barely spotting. I cannot take hormones or bc pills so this med has been a wonderful solution. I like that you oonly need to take it for five days or less instead of daily. | F | 35 | 2 months 3x a day | 7/4/2012 | 1 | Bleeding due to uterine fibroids | Side effects from my first and only dose were extreme: hypertension, headache, nausea, vertigo, sleep disturbances, abdomen felt like supernovas were exploding in it. And my fibroid bleeding increased! | Caveat emptor with Lysteda. My gynecologist wanted me to take this drug three times a day for at least three days. After enduring those frightening side effects from just one dose, I told her NO WAY. Obviously this was not the drug for me. My body reacted as if it were a poison. Fortunately, by 24 hours after that single dose, my blood pressure had dropped back to normal, and all the side effects had disappeared. | F | 54 | 1 days 650 mg 1X day | 5/20/2012 | 5 | Very Heavy Periods & Bad Cramps | Headache & Stuffy Nose but it is worth it. | This is fantastic. I used to have horrible extremely heavy and painful periods that lasted for about 7 days. Now my periods are very light (like spotting almost) and completely pain free and only last for 3 days. I would highly recommend this. | F | 19 | 7 months 3X day | 5/19/2012 | 5 | extremely heavy periods due to fibr | none | I normally have crazy periods and lose so much blood it makes me anemic. my Dr. prescribed Lysteda. Started my period yesterday and after 1 dose my period changed to spotting. After 2 doses it stopped completely. | F | 57 | 1 days 2 pills 3X day | 3/27/2012 | 2 | Heavy Period | Room-spinning dizziness and headache. Some anxiety but that might be just a reaction to the dizziness. | The first go round, my period stopped after the 1st dose. Unfortunately, the last three rounds I have taken it, have not lessened the bleeding one iota. | F | 47 | 4 months 1300 mg 3X day | 10/18/2011 | 5 | Heavy Heavy periods | I absolutley cannot describe the relief that I received within hours of taking this drug. I thought that taking it 3 times a day was going to be hard but I will tell you that after the first dose and within hours I noticed a difference I didnt want the flow to start back up. I stopped my period within 3 days and swear by this drug. I used to plan my family outings by my periods...now I take my Lysteda. LOVE THIS DRUG | F | 31 | 5 days 650 3X day | 9/29/2011 | 5 | Debilitating periods | slight achiness, barely noticeable | Before this drug, I was bleeding so heavily I slept with super plus tampon AND maxi pad, and still had to wake during the night to change every 3 hours. I was in so much pain I was crawling on the floor for one day each month and missing all activities for days. Lysteda has really helped! At 47, I had an ovary removed due to cyst, but periods continued worsening. My Dr. kept telling my to "just get a hysterectomy" but I refused. Lysteda was a last ditch effort and so far, so good. Since I'm sensitive, I started out with 2x/day, but feel that 3x a day will be manageable next month. | F | 48 | 1 months 2 pills 2X day | 8/19/2011 | 5 | Lessen monthly bleeding | Changed my life completely. I went from bleeding through double protection and my clothes for days on end to a normal, light period. I was amazed at how well it works. | F | 37 | 1 months 3X day | 5/16/2011 | 5 | Heavy Mentrual Bleeding | There were no side effects at all | This drug is amazing. It helped my heavy bleeding considerably with no side effects. And while the recommended dose is 1300mg 3x a day for 5 days, i find that 650mg 3x a day for 5 days works just as well, so if you start this drug, ask your doctor if you can start at a lower dose. | F | 43 | 6 months 650 mg 3X day | 1/13/2011 | 4 | heavy menstrual bleeding | start taking the first dose as soon as you start your cycle | F | 39 | 650x2 3X day | 11/18/2010 |
