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. |
