| 3 | Hysterectomy | Watch your generics. Not all equal. | Mylan generic M E5 on blue round tablet works great!! Had been on it for a year after total hysterectomy. NO PROBLEMS! Felt normal in every way. Was given green oval Teva pharmaceutical brand and had a meltdown. Felt like crying nonstop. Was crying for 2 days. Got back on Mylan pharmaceuticals blue tablet and feel great again. Watch your generics. Not all equal. | F | 43 | 1 years 2mg | 7/24/2019 | 5 | Hot flashes | None | F | 61 | 19 years 0.5 | 7/7/2019 | 4 | Menopause | I don’t have hot flashes anymore, however, the scale keeps going up and I’m working out more. I’ve gained 25lbs over this last year | F | 53 | 1 years 5 mg | 3/19/2019 | 3 | Vaginal Atrophy | I have night sweats when I take it and weird dreams. I take it 2 times a week. | It seems to be helping with the atrophy. | F | 59 | 4 months 3 mg | 10/13/2018 | 2 | Menopause symptoms | Horrible back pain; some bloating. | F | 55 | 30 days .5 MG | 5/19/2018 | 1 | for menopause | Nausea, migraines, dizziness, chills, fatigue, chapped lips, skin dried out, brain fog, severe anxiety, aching joints and muscles, severe gastritis and acid reflux.I didn't have these problems before the pill. | These side effects started about an hour after the very first pill. The doctor said to stick with it for a month, but each day just got progressively worse. These pills may be inexpensive, but I am going back to the estrogen patch. I never had any side effects from those. I switched to the pill form to save money. It was not worth it. | F | 52 | 1 months 2mg 1X day | 9/19/2017 | 4 | Total hysterectomy | No negative side effects | It's a godsend. I have energy that didn't know existed, no pms symptoms at all. I do have the occasional hot flash but no night sweats at all. Definitely know if I miss a dose, irritability and bladder spasms. | F | 49 | 30 days 1 mg | 9/7/2017 | 2 | Secondary amenorrhea, HRT | Breast tenderness, muscle atrophy, weak legs, extremely tired | Positive - eliminated my anxiety and improved mood, stopped night sweats but I still need vaginal estradiol to prevent dryness. I've been very athletic my whole life and work hard to stay in shape - to my dismay ever since taking the estradiol I've gotten weak, so much that my legs are shaky in the morning and I need to take a nap every day! I want my energy back! | F | 40 | 1.5 months 4 mg 1X day | 8/15/2017 | 1 | Hot flashes | Back pain, joint pain, depression, vivid dreams, breaststroke tenderness | I thought i had thrown out my back. Only 2 days after starting estradiol I felt like I was 100 years old, unable to stand up straight after sitting. By day 9 I couldn't keep myself up in a chair. I stopped taking it and now 4 days later I'm a new person. This stuff is terrible on my system | F | 51 | 10 days | 6/23/2017 | 3 | Primary amenorrhea | Cramping, breast tenderness, discharge, diarrhea, vivid dreams | Overall good just really bad cramping has helped so far | F | 27 | 3 days 6mg | 5/14/2017 | 1 | Hormones | Addicting...when I miss a dose or two... I feel hard palpitations...stopped taking it for 5 days and I feel outrage now...is this normal... | F | 58 | 8 years 1mg | 4/18/2017 | 3 | Complete hysterectomy | Shortness of breath at night, leg pain, lower back pain, dizziness, confusion. | I'm a smoker and was just informed by my GYN that between the two that I'm high risk for blood clots or stroke, wanna stop cold turkey just not sure if that's safe or should I wean myself down? | F | 47 | 1 years 1mg | 1/20/2017 | 4 | Post complete hysterectomy. | Increased vaginal discharge, vivid dreams | F | 38 | 10 days 1mg | 1/8/2017 | 3 | Total hysterectomy | It helped hot flashes but I'm having severe joint pain. Everything aches . I am taking the pill form | F | 41 | 1 months 1 mg | 11/27/2016 | 1 | Hot flashes, mood change | Terrible mood change, became very quiet, high anxiety, irrational thoughts, vaginal burning | This drug worked well for a few months. I didn't realize the change in my personality, because I was so relieved to not have hot flashes and irritation. I became very quiet and my anxiety prevented me from going out and socializing. I didn't realize it was the estradiol until I started having physical symptoms; high blood pressure, vaginal burning, painful urination, and uti symptoms. This drug was a horrible experience. I am going to just stick it out and deal with the menopausal symptoms on my own. Beware of the changes you experience, they are subtle, but enough to really change your life for the worse. | F | 46 | 1 years .50 1X day | 11/4/2016 | 3 | Hysterectomy | Pain under left breast shortness of breath and lower back pain. And high blood pressure | At first it worked great no side effect no hot flashes and for the past 2 months have been horrible... Did all kind of test ecogram ultrasound of my heart stress test name it and then finally I put it together it's the estadol and after reading comments I kno its the estadol.... My primary care doctor said your health | F | 42 | 2 years 5mg | 7/4/2016 | 5 | Mood swings, vaginal dryness ,hot flash | None of any significance | Saved my life, job, marriage. Taking with progesterone. Mood swings gone! No hot flashes anymore. Everything is better. | F | 55 | 3 months 1mg 1X day | 6/29/2016 | 2 | hot flashes and disequilibrium | abdominal pain, headaches, worse hot flushes | It did help with my disequilibrium problem, but not worth it to be constantly in pain under my right ribs; am now weaning myself off it but wish I could come off faster without risking major hot flushes. I'm on the Estradot patch. | F | 45 | 2 months 50mcg 2X W | 5/18/2016 | 3 | Hysterectomy | Extremely tired , wanted to sleep all the time and experienced. Joint pain | F | 49 | 1 days 2mg | 4/29/2016 | 5 | for hormonal issues | 1 days | 4/1/2016 |
