I’ve never taken Orlissa but my doctor has mentioned it to me and has asked me to consider it. I am going to try Mirena in September on top of Depo Provera, which I’ve been on for a year. On Nancy’s Nook, there had been others that have had horrible results with Orlissa. Are you still taking it or considering getting off of it? Did your doctor put you on it to help with pain, bleeding, or both? I hope your mental and physical health Gets better soon.

I had to stop taking it due to the mental and emotional effects. Things like depression, anxiety, etc was intensifying the more I take it. They say it's highly similar to Lupron Depot. I've been off of it for awhile now. My doctor put me on it for the pain. Thank you, so much!
