Reported Results |
| Benefits: | | reduced hot flashes; reduced heart palpitations |
| Side effects: | | mood swings; not enough estrogen |
| Comments: | | I started taking the drug 2 months ago to streamline a regime that consisted of taking estrodial and a progestrene cream. So far, I feel it doesn't have enough estrogen to regulate mood swings and dryness of skin. I also have breast tenderness and continued heart palpitations. I think I prefer going back to activella along with the progestrone cream. |
