Comment:
I started taking Prometrium in conjunction with Esdtradot 2 days ago. The side effects of Prometrium are horrible; dizziness, very tired, so what is the point of them at all? With so many nasty side effects listed, why bother to promote this product to women who are already going through the pains and misery of menopause?

I've been in surgical menopause since 2013 with horrible side effects from the estrogen only treatment. This medicine has given me my life back. I am finally able to sleep all night. No more depression or anxiety. I feel normal now.

Comment:
I was suffering from severe, frequent hot flashes. My doctor prescribed 100 mg vaginally at bedtime. Soon, my flashes subsided and I was also sleeping a lot better. A year later, she put me on DHEA and I slowly decreased the Prometrium without recurrence of the hot flashes.

Comment:
I started taking this medication 4 years ago. I am pre-menopausal and it really helps with the mood swings, anxiety levels, hot flashes and sleeping (mostly) I have severe insomnia. My periods were never normal so I can't really speak about that side of things. But I am really glad the doctor prescribe this.
