Orilissa Treatment?!

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Deerfield Beach, FL

Saw my doctor today to discuss treatment options after my lappy (May 2019) and continuous hormonal birth control (no periods) have failed to manage my symptoms. Can anyone share their experience with the Orilissa treatment?

Hello! I highly recommended finding a specialist who can do an excision! I was on 200 mg of Oriliisa. It really did help my symptoms and I have stage 4! I did experience night sweats and weight gain!

Orilissa is just as rough as Luprolide acetate (depo lupron). The only difference is orilissa starts the same day you start taking it. The effects dont hit you "hard" until about 14 days in. it causes me, joint pain, back pain, hot sweats, night sweats, headaches, frequent bathroom trips, flares up my ibs, unintentional weight loss, bloating, bad water retention, weird periods or no periods, fatigue, insomnia, dizziness, and cramping but less than a normal period cramp. oh also hair loss.
