    Stage 2 endo, could never tolerate hormones in the past and surgery didn't help. Orilissa 150mg has almost totally eliminated my pain. I lost my period after 6 months, but I also have all the symptoms of menopause and some new strange pains in the bladder area and in my bones.

    I started taking this a month ago & immediately noticed the pain was easing up. A month in and my acne has cleared up. I feel better during the day because I’m not in pain before or during my periods. All together, so far I’m pretty excited that it has worked this well so fast.

    I've had endo for a very long time, numerous surgeries. I was prescribed Orilissa 200mg BID over a year and a half ago. The side effects of hot flashes, night sweats and insomnia were brutal, however it brought my pain down to almost nil. About 4 months ago the pain started again, the period started again, along with the side effects.... I've been off the med for about a week now, and noti ... Show Full Comment

    Before I started taking orilissa, I read the reviews and got worried, so I wanted to share my experience to hopefully alleviate some anxiety for someone else. I started taking 150mg once a day 3-4 weeks ago. I started taking it while I was having an endo flare up, and the pain decreased every day until it disappeared 2 weeks ago. I had a headache for the first couple weeks, but that's gone now ... Show Full Comment
