"I am 21 years old and in about 2 months gained 30 pounds although I worked out consistently and kept a clean diet. In addition, I wasn’t sleeping, was retaining so much water I could not wear rings, and had horrific mood swings. However, my main problem was that I could no longer breathe, just speaking or walking felt like a marathon. For 8 months, I have had an endless nightmare of appointments and tests with different medical specialists with no answers. After loss of all hope, I finally decided to see a hormone specialist. Because of a mild progesterone deficiency, she recommended Prometrium for 6 weeks. I have been on 200 mg of Prometrium for two weeks now and after only 3 days, I started noticing my water retention lessening and I could breathe again! I can now work out better than I ever have been able to in my life, I sleep well, my stress levels are down, and my mood swings have subsided. This medication may have saved my life. Get your hormones checked!"

"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."
