My OBGYN gave prometrium to help bring on my period. Needed to thin out my lining. I started my period yesterday very lightly BUT the anxiety & dizziness I had was off the charts last night. Has this happened to anyone else taking homrmones?
Yes! it's the promethium. Some people just can't tolerate taking progesterone and I am one of them. I have exactly the symptoms you describe and when I've tried to take it at night I basically haven't slept at all. Estrogen, however, I tolerate very well and it works wonders.
Since I still get my period my OBG is fine with me just doing estrogen, but once it stops I'll be in trouble since I too will need to thin out the lining. At the moment I'm researching different forms of progesterone, but it does seem that a small group of women just cannot tolerate it whatsoever. Sorry i can't help, but it's not you!
