User Reviews for Prometrium oral

I am 40 yrs old and I have been taking 200mg at bedtime for about 21 days. The only side effect has been very, very tender breasts. I am having trouble with low libido and fatigue. I had blood work done on my thyroid and hormones. The only problem was that I was low in progesterone so I was put on this medication. I do know that I have been sleeping like a rock since I have started taking it. I go back in 2 wks for a check up. There has been no difference in my symptoms since I started taking this. I really don't feel that it is helping.Read More Read Less

this is my 7th day of prometrium and still no cycle. i really didnt have any side affects, i thought bloating was one but i think i just ate something wrong. i hope it works soon because i need to get a fertility workup.

I'm using this to prevent thickening of the uterine lining. Been using 100 mg every night for 4 months. Got my period after 6 weeks. Had spotting a feel bloated for a week now. That's all I get most months if anything at all. Been borderline menopause for 4-5 years now. So, it seemed to work at first and now I'm not so sure.

Im 48 and had total hyst/ovary removal 5 yrs ago, Im on Bio-identical hormones which are great but having joint pain/stiffness. This works great for that. Much improved in less than 1 month.

makes u dizzy

I just started with this medication, on my 8th day now and is taken at bedtime. Makes me sleepy at times and on the other hand a couple of nights were sleep was seriously delayed. Those late evenings were due to over analyzing of issues on my mind. Experiencing extreme mood swings, emotional and mental, at the drop of a dime. Patients have worn very thin while on this medication could be due to the harmonal inbalance of the medication. I'll keep you posted if it changes in any way but for now my husband gets the worst of it. Not enjoying this nor is he.Read More Read Less

It works, but I take it twice a day (200mg) and I stay very tired and dizzy all the time.

I now have irreg periods. 19/18/26 etc.etc. I started this the same time DST started. I felt like a limbodomy paitent. Now seeing all of these bad reviews, I don't think I'll take it in 20 days

I too was very dizzy & very tired... Due to high risk m/c rate my doc has me taking this for the first 14 weeks of pregnancy to ensure enough hormones are there for the baby to go full term. That is our hope at least! Although, reading the label "do not take if pregnant or trying to become pregnant" make me really nervous, the Dr. assured me it was ok... I sure hope. haha!

This is day 9 with this medicine. It has make me feel so sick and dizzy everynight but if I get my periodI will be happy. I was on BC for about 7 years to regulate my irregular cycle back then. I did have a DVT (blood clot) in Jan 07, si i had to stop the BC. Haventhad a period in over a year. Dr put me on another form of progesterone did not work. This is my second attempt. I hope it does. will keep u posted

I took 2 200mg pills a day for 10 days. It's been two weeks since my last dose and no period. Dr. had put me on provera 10 day course. Wish me luck!

I have only taken one dose of this medicine (to end a pro-longed menstrual cycle) so I'm not sure of the overall outcome just yet. But, I did want to warn people about why they say to take it AT BEDTIME. I was in bed when I took it but stayed awake for an hour or so watching TV. I started to feel sleepy so I got up to take out my contacts. Um, this is when the fun began. I was stumbling around the house as if I had downed a fifth of vodka. I had severly slurred speech, was running into walls, it was NOT FUN. I was basically a sleepwalking drunk. My husband had to babysit me until I fell asleep. If he had not been there, who knows what injuries I might have ended up with. Just thought I would share this. The pharmacist should REALLY, REALLY emphasize the dizziness side-effect and the fact that you should not plan on getting back up EVEN FOR A SECOND after you take the pills.Read More Read Less

Using medication to "jump start" my cycle. As my doctor said, after 10 days at 200mg it should start anytime after final dose. It started on day 4. No freaky side effects, but did make me sleepy so I was advised to take before bedtime.

I was prescribed this med to control heavy periods, and irregular, short (every 2 wks)cycles in peri-menopause. Some months it worked, most months it didn't seem to help so I have stopped using it. I had no other side effects. I am taking Provera now for the same reasons and will review it in few months. I am also considering ablation or hysterectomy.

I got a rash after 2 days on the med. did not pay attention to it and kept taking it. The rash went away for 2 days then came back BAD on day 5. I discontinued and did get my period in 2 days time, so other then the rash it worked for me.

Started taking to regulate menstrual cycle. worked great the first month. Still waiting for my period this month. Makes me extremely sleepy which makes it hard to take since I work 7pm-7am. I try to take at bedtime but my sleep cycle changes depending if I am working or not.

didnt work for me

I started this med because I have PCOS and haven't had a real cycle in 3 months. This medicine has knocked me out every time I take it. It makes it hard to get things done. I work at night take my med in the am 200mg. I have PMS and feel like I could start I hope it works.

I have a thickened uterine lining at age 51 which is not normal. I stopped having periods every month for about a year and now they are back. I need to go back to the doctor and am late in doing so. I don't think I should be bleeding this much. I've lost weight as well. I do not know if this drug is working for me. I need another ultrasound very soon.

ive only been taking this medication for 2 months, but I still have not had a period. I dont know if you have to take it for a few months before it comes in effect or what, but i'll keep you all updated
