Took it for three months, low hormone counts post menopause. Nightmares, dizziness, breathlessness, headache, vision problems, diahrrea, confusion, feel drunk, DEPRESSION, ANXIETY....etc etc This is poison and I'm on bioidentical from holistic doc who claims side effects do not occur.

For the most part this medication has worked for me. I've been taking prometrium for 6 months for heavy bleeding and to help regulate my periods. I have noticed weight gain and hot flashes while taking this medication.
