For Perimenopausal Symptoms "Taking it at 100 mg. Didn't like the dizzy feeling. Started taking it at night, much better, but I feel it building up in my system over time. I wish I could take half or 3/4 as much, but it is not available in those doses. I have absorption issues, and the liquid form is great except I can't cut it in half. I do like what it does for my thinking, digestion, emotions, etc., but over time, irritability, heavy dreaming, pregnant-like feeling build up. I am a small woman, about 110 lbs, 5 feet, and wish smaller doses were available. A little bit goes a long way."

For Amenorrhea "This drug is effective at inducing a period, but it has awful side effects. Basically, you will feel pregnant-tired, dizzy, hungry for junk food, and bloated. My breasts grew half a size within 3 days of taking. Then the rest of me caught up and I gained 5 lbs in the 10-day time frame that I took this drug. But it did do what it was supposed to do, so I can't totally complain."

For Amenorrhea "I am currently taking this medication for a missed cycle. I was told to take it at night due to the drowsiness it may cause. So far, I have not noticed much of a problem with that. I have been on the pill for 5 days, and the side effects are almost unbearable. I have breast tenderness, but also the muscles around my chest/back area are aching to the point of being painful. I called my doctor about this side effect and was told that the medication has not been known to cause achiness. After reading this website, I see it is very possible. I have had some dizziness, sweating, and irritability as well. Either way, the medication seems to be helping, but I really cannot wait to quit it!"

"Two months into taking this med, I have found it's making me feel ill. Dizziness, shortness of breath, lethargy. I've had test after test. Then realized this all happened after starting this med."
