Easy to use. Certainly addressed the night sweats and hot flashes. But I have had almost non-stop bleeding and breast tenderness.

have been in menopause for 4 years-doctor says-hot flashes for many more years, some night sweats. Started Activella 5 months ago and hot flashes were better after 2 months-now only minor.

have been in menopause for 4 years-doctor says-hot flashes for many more years, some night sweats. Started Activella 5 months ago and hot flashes were better after 2 months-now only minor. Didn't think had side effects until reading others-but have had bloating. Now have had light period for the last 2 months-only a few days but..first time in 4 years! Had a D&C 20 months ago to remove 3 small cysts(before Activella)so not sure if the bleeding is med related or cysts again. Making doctor appointment Monday. My insurance company changed me to the generic form in June w/o me realizing it. Symptoms came back-fast! When I asked the pharmacy what could be wrong, they told me about the change. My doctor made the call and I'm back on the original Activella. It only took 2 weeks on it this time and symptoms were better. Now if bleeding is NOT related to Activella-I'll keep taking it, but if it is..I lived with the hot flashes for years, hated them, but at least I will live.

I have been taking this med for 8 days now because of hot flashes and night sweats. So far not relief and seems night sweats are worse. I will give it a full month try before I make a decision to continue.

I went off YAZ low dose birth control (took for low iron issues and it greatly helped) due to monthly 3 day headaches. I'm 47 and went into hot flashing, so Dr. put me on Activella. Experienced immediate relief, and feel more calm...like my nerves have been coated with oil. NICE. But have scalp acne now, losing hair, and may be getting headaches again.

I went off YAZ low dose birth control (took for low iron issues and it greatly helped) due to monthly 3 day headaches. I'm 47 and went into hot flashing, so Dr. put me on Activella. Experienced immediate relief, and feel more calm...like my nerves have been coated with oil. NICE. But have scalp acne now, losing hair, and may be getting headaches again. Also, losing my grip and dropping things ALOT - dropped a coffee cup just walking down the hallway. Anyone else having this symptom? I fear going off it due to the irritability, nervousness, and hot flashing symptoms returning, BUT what is this stuff really doing to my BRAIN ??
