For Endometriosis "My experience with elagolix was not good at all. I continued with the pain, pain during sex, and painful periods. I had hot flashes, which, compared to the other effects, were okay. I also developed depression to the point I had to seek professional help. It is just awful. If for other women it worked, I’m happy for them. But for me, it is a big NO."

Elagolix for Endometriosis "I have to share this. I started Orilissa for endometriosis pain 5 months ago. I did try to stop it this month due to feeling very depressed. I have gotten my period every month routinely, and that is when I stopped it. However, the pain was surreal once I went off of it. I was chalking it up to period pains, but by the end of the first week, I was curled over. My stomach felt on fire, inflamed, sharp pains in front, back, and right side. I gave it 2 weeks and just couldn't take the pain anymore and started back on the Orilissa. After 2 doses, the pain subsided, and now I am on day 4, and it's almost gone. I can still feel where all the pain was, but I can definitely tolerate it. I guess my mental health is the price I gotta pay for my physical well-being. Nonetheless, it definitely helps with my endometriosis pain. Going to call my Dr. to see where I go from here."
