Prometrium review by 50 year old female patient

  Rating
Overall rating:  
Effectiveness:   Marginally Effective
Side effects:   Mild Side Effects
  
Treatment Info
Condition / reason:   perimenopause symptoms
Dosage & duration:   100 mg taken 1/day for the period of 6 months
Other conditions:   none
Other drugs taken:   none
  
Reported Results
Benefits:   Decrease in panic attacks (maybe these were hot flashes ... but didn't feel "hot"). Woke up less often at night from these same panic attacks.
Side effects:   Still have headaches - not clear if these are from my sinuses or a side effect, but they have been persistent. Always had problems with sleep, so am not sure if that is affected by the Prometrium.
Comments:   oral medication - presumably the same substance that is found in topical "natural" progesterone cream.

All menapousal symptoms are gone, including headaches, hot flashes (every hour on the hour),memory loss and general foggyness, lack of energy, dry skin, just to name a few. I feel more alive and have a greater sense "of purpose" than I have had for 10 years.
