Tranexamic acid Compared to Alternatives

For Menstrual Disorders: My OBG prescribed this because I have heavy bleeding and I would bleed for 2 weeks straight during the day and night. I'm taking iron pills. I'm happy that this medicine reduced my bleeding. The only side effects I noticed is I had some pimples all over my back neck and face not too much and for the second month I didn't take any pills my period is still light but it worries me it stopped on the one.

For Menstrual Disorders: I have been diagnosed with fibroids. I have been bleeding for about 6 weeks now. My previous doctor had me on a hormone called megstrol. I worked for the first month and then stopped. my bleeding is out of control. I am no my 3 day of the lysteda. I could tell a difference right away. the bleeding slowed to the point of almost stopping. I started to become a little heavy today before I took my first dose. I hope that this helps with the bleeding and stops it.

For Menorrhagia: After bleeding for almost 8 weeks half the time very heavy with many clots and the other half lighter/less clots Lysteda has helped me. I am 52 and have had two endometrial biopsies and sonohistograms. Results:thick uterine lining, and a small fibroid. After being told the only treatment was a D&C I wanted to try medication as a first line of treatment keeping surgery as the last resort. I was told to take 2 tablets three times a day. By the second dose my flow was much lighter. I am also very anemic now cause I waited too long to pursue the medication. Ladies, try it, don't wait till you're terribly anemic like me. I also have IBS and was afraid of taking it but so far so good.

For Menorrhagia: I am 37 years old and have been dealing with debilitating periods for 20+ yrs. My issue used to be horrible cramps (so bad I would vomit from pain), and most recently the bleeding and large clots became more of my issue. I wouldn't even leave my house bc I was afraid of the sudden "whoosh" that no feminine product could be a match for. :-( After testing, found out I have a large fibroid. Not wanting to jump to surgery I chose to take Lysteda. (My insurance gave me a generic version.) The reviews on here made me scared to death to try, but I started to take anyway. My clots have stopped and my flow is 50% lighter, so I would call it normal finally. I still bleed 5 days and have minor cramps but nothing like I used to have! I can live a regular life when I have my period! My cycle starts like clockwork now, before I was usually a week or more late each month. I will say, it DOES may me sleepy, but that is my only side effect.

For Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: I took the generic brand from Lupin Laboratories for ovarian cyst. I did not experience nausea or headaches and it helped with the cyst. The only downside was I starting getting dark spots in face. My doctor switched me over to Migrogestin 1/20.

For Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: I have been on Ortho Tri Cyclen for two years and rapidly gained over 15 pounds after the first year. I never felt full after a meal, and would always crave sweets. Finally, 3 months ago I decided to go on Zarah, a generic brand of Yasmin. Before I was on birth control, I was 104 pounds. 3 months ago, I was 131 pounds and started becoming very concerned about my weight. After being on Zarah for these 3 months I am now 123.0 pounds! I'm happier and less worried, and I want to lose at least 4 more pounds. This is a huge difference for me as birth control is something I need to be on to prevent any more cysts from forming. I've had two burst in less than two weeks and had to be hospitalized.
