"I have been on danazol for endometriosis for about 2.5 months. My doctor opted to give me a very low dose (taken twice a day). My menstrual cycle continued (every 16 days) until this month. I no longer have one - or its very light and tolerable. The first few weeks I noticed an increase in frustration - and some stray hairs (face/neck/chest). Now that I have adjusted - I do find I get fatigued if I miss my morning dose. This is the BEST I have felt in 10 years (except for the time I spent on Depo - before it made me depressed). I've had no emotional side effects. Light acne. Slight weight gain (5 lbs)."

"I can't really say how the medicine works. I took it for five days and in that time started to experience bowl changes, exhaustion, muscle cramping in legs and lower back, as well as weight gain. I made the decision that the pain from the endometriosis (which is being mostly controlled by birth control pills) is easier to deal with. I do hope that the medicine works for others with Endometriosis, because the pain is definitely not fun to deal with!"

Danocrine (danazol) "I suffered with endometriosis for several years without relief. I visited a gynecologist who prescribed danazol. I took if for a year and I am healed. I also had a mole on my leg which completely disappeared."

"I've been on danazol for about 6 months now, following ablation surgery for endo. I haven't noticed much in the way of endo-like pain, with the exception of a handful of instances when using the bathroom. I have noticed a drastic change in my breast tissue, my chest is not as full as it was when I had a cycle and my nipples are not as sensitive as they once were. There was some weight gain, moodiness and acne but it's all manageable. The one thing that might cause me to stop taking this medication is that it may be causing some hypertension for me, apparently that happens for some folks."
