User Reviews for Lysteda oral

I've had heavy painful periods all most of my life. Worse in my teens and then came back strong in my mid thirties. No kids or pregnancies but I get ovarian cysts. While I was considering a Novasure, my doctor prescribed lystera. I only have taken it on my heavy days or when I know I need to function outside the house as I can most work from home. I took it steadily this last month and it made a huge difference. I had scheduled the Novasure but after doing a deeper dive into the supposed 10% it doesn't work for .. I'm going to stick with the lysteda and aleve. After all, this too shall pass ... I've dealt with it for over 30 years .. What's another 5-10? Read More Read Less

At 52 I am still having heavy peroids. This is much safer than hormone drug. Other than fatigue I have no other side effects and I would feel that way anyway during a heavy cycle. definitely reduces the blood flow.

45 and diagnoses with a thicker than usual endometrium. No cancer and one small fibroid. Cycles are disgustingly heavy and always restrict my activity. Palm sized clots are a 'normal' monthly occurrence. Lysteda drastically reduced my periods but not without side effects. Month 1 I took the full 5 days and was very happy with the light period. I only used 5 supers on days 2/3 as opposed to a full box of super+! I wore liners on days 4 & 5! Side effects were fatigue, migraine level headaches, muscle pain, congestion, random sneezing, dizziness, sensitivity to light and insomnia. Month 2 and again a lighter than usual period but I stopped taking the med after day 3. Debilitating migraine, diarrhea, nausea, horrible cramps, severe congestion, continual sneezing, itchy skin and nose, fatigue, extreme drowsiness, swollen glands in the neck, very cold hands and feet and hip pain. All symptoms went away within 8 hours after stopping the med so no, I did not have the flu! I think I'll opt for one of the procedures.Read More Read Less

I was prescribed this medication for severely heavy and long periods that put me into a state of anemia. This drug simply postponed my period and when it came, was heavier than ever causing even worse anemia. My skin broke out in a rash all over my body and my eyes have been twitching for 2 weeks, which I've never had before. Glad that it works for some people; I had high hopes but will not take this drug again.

hi my name is lara and im 18 years old and i was prescribed with this pill a week before my expected period hoping that it would lessen my period and maybe even delay it a couple of days.. I asked my doctor for a prescription for a progesterone pill but she refused and thought that lysteda would be best for me. The reason why i desperately needed this pill was because i was flying out to las vegas to see my boyfriend for a week and it just so happen to be that i was supposed to get my period at that time. I'm not on birth control (but i should be) because i dont want my mother to think that im having sex etc. So i went to las vegas and for the first four days i was there i didnt get my period (thank god) and the fifth day i got it and took the pills that morning afternoon and night for the first few days of my period hoping that it would have some effect. Well, it didn't. I was so pissed off because i get terrible periods where i can't get out of bed and i'm really not a nice person and highly emotional and it's just not a good time for me. Plus i was staying with my boyfriend and thats so not fun if i have it. I'm very upset that this pill didn't work with me after reading all of the amazing reviews about it and if i want to miss another period i guess i'm just going to have to go on birth control. Thanks docRead More Read Less

I had stroke like symptoms last month while taking this medication. Blurred vision, slurred speech and droopy face. Went to ER for CT and MRI which showed no actual stroke but possible TIA..going to neurologist soon for follow up

I was prescribed Lysteda to treat severe menstrual cramps. The idea was that if bleeding was reduced, so would the pain. Not so, unfortunately. My flow was reduced but there was little/no effect on the pain. I don't recommended it as cramp relief.

My periods were excrutiatingly heavy and painful. Every month I was bedridden for a minimum of three days. I agonized for months about having a hysterectomy to end the misery but face the possibility of never having a child. Lysteda has literally saved my life and has given it back to me!! It is phenomenal how incredible this stuff has worked for me! I can't believe I've never heard of it until now! This stuff should be adverstised a lot more so that more lives can be spared the misery of living with painful and heavy periods. I am telling everyone I know about it! I feel so full of life! So energized! So happy and SOO RELIEVED that NEVER AGAIN WILL AGONIZE AND SUFFER during my period. OMG! I fail to find the right words to describe just how amazingly Lysteda has worked for me!I was skeptical that it would work for me but you just have to experience it to believe it!!

For over 7 years, after the birth of my daughter, I would have very heavy periods and sharp pains each month and no one could tell me what was wrong. Finally, I moved back to my home state of Florida and located a doctor that prescribed Lysteda...THANK YOU LORD!!!! I have been taking this medicine for about 1 1/2 and although my cycle last about 6 days, I would rather take that than 2 days of "faucet flowing" cycle. It was so bad that I would have to wear a Depend for the first 3 days ...embarrassing!!! I'm happy with the meds...had some side effects earlier, but nothing compared to how I was before!Read More Read Less

I am a 43 year old African American female and I have taken this medication since August 2011. Immediately upon use of this medication i saw results. The heavy bleeding was greatly reduced. I have several fibroids, more than i can count, but i primarily have 3 large ones. One the size of an orange, another a lemon and another a golf ball. At any rate, after using the drug for two months, i noticed that I because sensitive to Tide Washing powder. I stopped using Tide powder, and started using the liquid. Things appeared great until now. Currently, I am super sensitive to everything. Tide, powder or liquid. I'm even sensitive to free and clear washing detergents and fabric softners. In addition, I can't eat any food that contains oil of any kind: soybean, vegetable, corn, safflower, sunflower and the list goes on. If I consume anything with oil or ware clothes washed in the over the counter detergents, I immediately start itching severely and break out into hives. After consulting with my doctor, she informed me that one of the side-effects of Lysteda is hypersensitivity. So far now, I am giving up on it and seeking another solution. Read More Read Less

I'm 44 YO Took it for three days and lost my period !:(

I took Lysteda for about 18 months. It definately worked to reduce and control monthly bleeding. I began to suffer from joint discomfort however and discontinued this med to try low dose birth control meds instead. Within three months my joint pain has subsided immensely!

I am only 36 but after having my twins 7 years ago I have suffered with periods so heavy I feel like I need to wear a diaper just to get through the day! Since I have been taking Lysteda it's like a whole new world. I don't feel like I have to run to change every 15 minutes. Thank You!!!

i am 42 years old with debilitating periods for the last 3 years. some of which have actually landed me in the emergency room. first 2 days i would wear overnight super ads and suer tampons changing every 20min or so, sometimes not even leaving the bathroom. i had no insurance so i just suffered. i finally got insurance and visited a new doctor and immediately prescribed lysteda. please let me tell you this is the first month ive used it and i wore regular pads and no tampons and my life is changed. this product is a gift and would recommend to anyone that suffersRead More Read Less

started taking pills yesterday. took only 1 in the morning and 1 at night it all but stopped my bleeding! best thing ever!

WOW....after literally 30 years of horrendously painful and heavy periods, I finally have my life back!! I am on day two of Lysteda and guess what?...The last two days have been perfectly normal days! It has not been interrupted by my period at all. Before Lysteda I was homebound for the first three days of my cycle as I would have to be near a bathroom every 15 minutes. I can't beleive how much a difference Lysteda has made. I thought it would be hard to take 2 pills 3x's a day, but when it works this good, I definetely will not have a problem remembering. If you are reading these reviews to decide whether to try this or not, DO IT!! It could very well change your life too! :-) Read More Read Less

pill works very well, but on the third day the inside of my mouth hurtd and my calves,and nausus,with no tast buds, i only take two doses on the third day, then two doses on the forth day, and stop, seems to work better, its the only thing that works withut surgery, so no choice

49 otherwise healthy, cysts and fibroids and have been advised to have a full hysterectomy. I was given some samples by my Ob/gyn and noticed a big difference, no side effects. Recently on a cruise and could use a regular pad as opposed to maxi plus a tampon. No or minimal clots where as usually they are awful. My only issue? Cost. Only generics covered by my insurance and according to my pharmacy, the Lysteda assistance card only works if your insurance pays something. Result. Can't afford it. Lst my hone and business last year, and just lost my job last week.Read More Read Less

I had been bleeding for a total of 52 days. I had been using the depo shot for a year, then all of a sudden I started to bleed very heavy with clots and cramps. My doctor did test after tests and no signs of fibroids and the unexplained bleeding. I didn't take the full recommended dose I took 2 pills a day and today is day 2. It has lessened my period, but has given me awful side effects. I have a bad headache, stomachache and body aches and just all around feel exhausted. I will continue to try and take it but I'm not taking pills a day with all these awful side effects and still have to be able to function. Read More Read Less
