User Reviews for Estradiol/norethindrone

Activella (estradiol/ norethindrone) for Postmenopausal Symptoms: This works great.

Activella (estradiol/ norethindrone) for Postmenopausal Symptoms: Hot flashes were relieved; however I suddenly (never before experienced) a migraine with some nausea after 2 months on this medicine. I used ES Tylenol and felt better in 3 hours. Since this is the only medication I was taking and my overall health is very good, I decided to reduce the dosage by taking the medication every other day. The hot flashes were still relieved and this half dosage was for one month. Last week I suffered another migraine and vomiting and was under the weather for an entire day. I have decided to go off the medication completely.

Activella (estradiol/ norethindrone) for Postmenopausal Symptoms: I have been taking Activella for 4 months now. It immediately alleviated hot flashing and anxiety/nervousness/irritability. However, I think it is beginning to cause headaches. I've also had scalp acne which started when I was taking a generic form of Activella, but seems to be clearing now that I'm taking the actual brand name of the drug. Also, have noticed I am more emotional (tear up in a second) on this medicine. In the last month or so, I have become increasingly clumsy, dropping things I'm holding. Will update on this in 2 months.

estradiol/ norethindrone for Postmenopausal Symptoms: Have been on this medication for one month - using every other day. It relieves the hot flashes completely however, I've noticed a significant amount of hair loss. I was taking Ortho-prefest before and had some hair loss but not as much as I'm now experiencing. I've decided to go back on Ortho-prefest even though it is not considered a generic and I'll have to pay more.
