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?
I have had horribly painful periods since I was 14. My periods would last 30+ days, so I was put on the pill before I could drive. My periods have since regulated but they’re excruciately painful and have been for as long as I can remember. I’ve had to leave work or school if I didn’t have ibuprofen on hand. Sometimes I take 1600mg every four hours and I can still feel the pain (I never use ibuprofen when I’m not on my period except for when I have migraines)
I’m a runner and ski mountaineer… read more

Hey ladies! I will be having my left ovary removed soon. I keep becoming septic and in and out of the hospital. My Doctor would like me to start on Orilissa after my surgery. Can I hear your stories about this medication?
Anyone take myfembree and have liver or kidney issues?
I have been taking it now for 2 months, some hot flashes at first. Now it's been 2 months and no side effects really.
Has this medication worked for anyone?
Mine worked for a while until it didn’t after a couple of months. Doctor just put me on a higher dose at 2 times ago. Hot flashes are definitely a thing.

After my laparoscopy in Oct 2021, I was prescribed Orlissa. I've notice my mental health is declining rapidly. I have a history of being on birth controls that made me have very manic depressive episodes. This time these episodes are more frequent and severe. I'm trying to determine if its the medication or if it's me.
Additionally, if you were prescribed Orlissa and take an anti-depressant at the same time, I'd love to hear your experience too as that may be a route I need to take.
Has anyone tried this? I'm 33 and want kids. But with being stage 4 and the pain I've been having they are considering medical menopause. What have you all experienced with this?
I was put into surgical menopause after a complete hysterectomy, and have been in menopause for 5 years now…
Hi Ladies:
Has anyone here been on Lupron Depot HRT treatment. If so any side effects? Is it helping?
