For Atrophic Vaginitis "I just started my 3rd month of using the 10 mcg insert of Imvexxy. The dryness has been completely reversed, which in turn stopped my chronic BV. Yay!! However, I've been feeling nauseous and crampy with a mild headache for the past 6 weeks. I also seem to be experiencing more hot flashes and night sweats. I don't want to believe it's the Imvexxy causing this and the low back pain, but since nothing else has changed, and I take no other medications, I can only assume it is the Imvexxy. I am almost 60 yrs old and have been in menopause for 8 yrs or so. I keep thinking these symptoms will go away, but they actually may be worsening. I'll likely finish using the rest of this prescription but not renew it."

For Atrophic Vaginitis "I started taking 10 mcg Imvexxy one month ago. I used it daily for two weeks, then went to twice per week. I found it easy to use. All was fine for two weeks, except for the bad discharge, and then at week four, I started having extreme fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, loss of appetite, chills, and hot flashes, and then extremely painful pressure in my pelvic area. Since this is the only change I have made, I am convinced it’s Imvexxy."

For Atrophic Vaginitis "After one-time use, the next day I noticed an itchy rash mostly under my armpits and some on my torso. I'm afraid to use it again. Also, in the morning, I had bad hot flashes. The last time was over a year ago."

For Atrophic Vaginitis "I’ve been using Imvexxy for about 1 month. I’ve noticed hot flashes and night sweats have increased. I’m having leg heaviness and tiredness, as well as lower back pain. Insomnia has also gotten worse. I get a burning sensation and discharge after usage. I take 10 mcg every two days. I will reduce my usage to once a week and see if the symptoms resolve. I will keep you posted."

For Atrophic Vaginitis "Imvexxy has been effective in treating atrophic vaginitis. However, after having been on it for some time, I have gained nearly 10 pounds, experienced hair thinning, a 'full' abdomen, and thigh cramping, as well as my hot flashes have returned. Interestingly, the trials that were conducted for this medication only covered women for 12 weeks, so could side effects increase with long-term use? My insurance doesn't cover this medication, and I will be stopping it once I complete this month."
