Can Anyone Tell Me Their Experience On Norethindrone Acetate?
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

I started this medication almost a month ago. I’ve been having some problems at work and it’s causing me to get upset. When I used to get upset I just had to let myself calm down. But I got so angry the other day I threw my phone at the wall. I have taken orlissa before and it made my emotions BAD, and I’m wondering if this medication is doing the same. So any experience with it I’d love to hear it.

Thank you, yes I’m on 5mg. I took orlissa a few years back and it was awful. I just don’t really know if this emotional stuff is due to things that have been going on or if the medication is just making my emotions show a little bit more than normal. I’m going to stick with it a little bit longer but I’m on that and my lo loestrin so we will see I’m trying to give my body enough time to adjust. But I also do not want to be angry all the time and feel just dark.

I took ot with no problems or side effects at all.

I do know your symptoms may be side effects of norethindrone. I don't know the dose you're on. If on 5 mg, I would speak to my doctor about going on a lower dose and titrating up.

Please speak to your doctor!
