Comment:
This medication had horrible side effects. The hot flashes are very uncomfortable. Also my muscles, joints, and bones have been horribly effected, to the point where I am on long term pain medications.

Is it normal to not get a period for months after. I only took it once for endrometriosis... It didn't help. I got the shot in August and haven't had one since and no period.
