User Reviews for norethindrone acetate oral

This medication worked very well for me. It stopped my abnormal bleeding so that I could have a break. I had little to no side effects from taking this medication.

This medication caused night sweats and severe moodiness. I basically was swung into menopause. Ive been on it 6 years now and the pain is well under control. It is worth taking.

I have only taken this medication for two months and I hate it. The mood swings are so severe I can't stand myself. Weight gain (bloating) unbearable. And it hasn't helped my periods. I will never take another pill like this again.

I have been using this treatment for a year and a half I think it works well. I am only 21 and have had endometriosis, so this pill was the easiest way to keep that at bay. However now I am starting to notice all the side effects. I exercise every day but don't seem to lose any weight, I'm terribly moody (mostly when I'm already under stress), and I feel like I am going through menopause. I feel as though this is a wonderful short term treatment, but I am sure hoping that my doctor and I will come up with a better long term treatment soon!Read More Read Less

At first this medication was great for stopping the bleeding and pain associated with endometriosis. After being on the medication for a year, the side effects began to intensify. A year and a half later, I had 8 of the 12 listed side effects handed to me in a pamphlet at the pharmacy. I gained 25 lbs. although I ran or worked out every day. The nausea was the worst part, closely followed by the incredibly painful acne. This was a great short term medication for me but I would not recommend it to any of my friends. Read More Read Less

Though the medication is easy to use, I am not satisfied with how it makes me feel. After reading the side effects I now realize that the symptoms that I have been experiencing are normal. I have had difficulty sleeping, night sweats, headaches, extreme moodiness and prolonged periods. To me this is not the ideal treatment for endometriosis.

I am on my second month of treatment. I have been having night sweats,moddiness, and very painful headaches. I didnt know if it was normal. But my doctor told me i would have menopausal symptoms. I am only 24 years old and feel like i am going through menopause already. I am not pleased with this medicine at all. I dont like the way it makes me feel. I can't sleep at night. And i am always moody. And my doctor wants me to take this medicine for 6 months. I dont know if i can do it. But he said it will help my get pregnant after i finish taking it. So hopefully it works.Read More Read Less

This medicine was prescribed to me for heavy bleeding and painful cramps. I no longer take it, but I was on it about 2 months. This medicine made me feel awful and not myself. I think I had every side effect listed for this drug. I called the doctor about problems I was having and he said drug has no side effects, & to give it time to get in my system. Here I am 2 months later, at least 2 pants sizes smaller and hair falling out by the handfulls!!! I lost so much weight, I had to wear my 8 yr olds belt. My hair started coming out in clumps. It's so bad, I am now wearing a wig, hoping it will start growing back soon...This medicine has not helped my condition at all and I would not recommend anyone take it....Read More Read Less

1st period after taking it was much lighter but it has been 3 months now since I had a period. I am not concerned but wonder if this is normal?

This medication does control the heavy bleeding associated with my period, however I have gained weight. Constipation is a problem as well as heavy night sweats. I don't feel like myself when I take this medicine. I have asked for a different type of progesterone and will start that next month. I hope it doesn't have the same side effects as norethindrone. If so, I don't know what I will do. For me the weight gain is the worse. I have a good diet and exercise dilegently 5 to 6 times a week. This medicine makes it all seem like I am doing it for nothing. Read More Read Less

I had been bleeding for 5-6 months HEAVY and PAINFUL(30-31 days each months). 2 days after my doctor started me on this medication I stopped bleeding. It has been WONDERFUL for me and I love it. I have to take it one more month to see how things are going but I'm scared to go off because I really don't what to deal with my monthly cycles again.

I have been using this medication for 8 days and my bleeding still has not stopped. it gets lighter and heavier back and forth I believe i am in perimenopausal stage but i am waiting for a sonogram to confirm that it is NOT endometriosis. this medication is NOT working at all. and i have gained 8 lbs. I had just lost 20lbs and was doing great until this happened. i am very upset about that and will take the last 2 pills and strangle my DR. (who by the way looks like Grady from Sanford & son) Chipped nails too!! Read More Read Less

I took this med. for breakthrough bleeding (several months) perimenopause. 14 days later I took vaginal ultrasound...fibroid. Later that eve. I started coughing up blood. Went off of it immediately!

I have been on it for 3 years - at first I hated it, but I love it now. Only complaint is the mood swings and headaches

I have gained an enomorous amount of weight and I just feel out of sorts. Lots of puffiness and breast tenderness. My stomach feels like jellly is in it. My calf are tender and puffy. Not pleased with the medicine

This is a horrible drug. Do not take it.

i have been on this treatment for 5 months now,i have not had any more pain,i am extremly thankful for this because i am no longer in tears every month when i had my period

I took this med 1 tab. twice a day for 21 days for heavy bleeding/irregular periods. After 48 Hrs. it helped with the heavy bleeding. But now it has been over 50 days and no period yet....now i will be starting on Provera.Hope this works.

My doc told me this would help with the bleeding but the day after I started taking it I started bleeding. I have one more day and I am through for this month. waiting to see if I start my regular period and how bad it will be this time. I am not happy at all at this time.
