"I have taken this for over a year. Initially, other than being a little more tired than usual, I was pleased with the results. The last six months, I have had severe night sweats and still feel overall tiredness. I am physically more fit than many women my age (66). I decided to quit this and try non-hormone alternative treatments. After three days, I did not have the night sweats. Will see if my energy returns!"

"I have been on Osphena for 6 months due to painful sex, and it unfortunately is not helping! I have also always been a person of a nice weight of 120, even 9 months pregnant didn’t weigh what I do now. I am at 149 lbs and realized all the weight increases have occurred while on this med! Nothing else has changed, so with still painful sex and lack of interest along with the major weight gain, I am stopping usage! Going back on my old low-dose estrogen med!"

"I am having horrible headaches, leg cramps, drenched in sweat to the point where I am waking up in the middle of the night dehydrated, fatigue, and had none of that before taking. It started about a week into taking the pills. I am going to stop immediately and search for an alternative."

"I’ve been taking Osphena for 1 month now. The first week started the hot flashes and night sweats during the night that wake me. Muscle spasms in my legs. Weight gain and feeling bloated. My Dr advised to continue for at least 12 weeks, not sure if I can manage 2 more months of side effects."

"Ok, so I started over a week ago on Osphena, and every day I have horrible migraine. I'm tired and am starting to feel the weight gain and bloating also. No night sweats or leg cramps. But I am not going to continue. I read the side effects, and it's not worth it to me."

"My Dr. had me try Osphena. I have been taking it for more than 9 months. It did not help at all with the vaginal dryness. We even tried it along with a natural product. Still have the dryness. But I do take antidepressants, which I think is the reason these haven't helped me. I'll continue trying different alternatives. I wish I could be a guinea pig to help someone come up with something that works for me."

"I have been taking this for 3+ years, hoping to experience less painful intercourse. I cannot detect any benefits of taking Osphena, and after reading reviews, I am wondering if my severe hot flashes, night sweats, leg cramps, fatigue, and weight gain are related. I'm stopping this drug today. It may not be causing all of the above symptoms, but it certainly isn't providing any detectable benefits. I'm done."

"Really helped with vaginal dryness and improved my sex life immensely. The only side effect is weight gain of about 7 pounds."

"I started this medication about 3 months ago, and it had taken that long for it to work on me. Then I realized I’ve gained 10 pounds in those three months, and the hot flashes are extreme, with lots of sweating. Yes, it did what it was supposed to do, but I feel bloated, fat, sweaty, and have experienced leg cramps. Bottom line, not for me."
