... month because I am also using a vivelle dot estrogen patch. I seem to do OK on the estrogen, but everytime I have to use the prochieve I get severely depressed and want to cry alot. My gyno said that of all of the progesterones, prochieve should have the least depressive side effects as it is mostly absorbed right in the vaginal area. Has anyone else experienced this problem with prochieve?
Even though in the clinical trials they indicated depression as a possible side effect (up to 19% of women), I feel all alone. Please advise
I am going through menopause right now and have to use the Prochieve 4% gel at least every other?

I don't know of anyone who has used Prochieve and couldn't find any reviews related to it so can't give you any advice. I would recommend that you join the forum ... there might be someone there who has used it or knows of someone who has used it.
