My gyn just put me on Provera. This first time he wanted me to take it for 15 days (10 mg twice a day), then every third month for 10 days (same dosage). Well, in the 6 1/2 days I took it, I gained 3 pounds! I stopped taking it afraid I'd end up gaining a lot more! I also became extremely depressed and had problems breathing. When I talked to my doc about this he didn't seem concerned. I haven't had af since last January. He said that the weight gain wasn't the main concern. He said that having af was the main concern. He didn't understand why I was having the other affects because, as he put it, those aren't side affects of Provera!!

Any help is appreciated!!

HONESTLY THOSE DON'T REALLY SOUND LIKE PROVERA S/E. I HAVE BEEN USING PROVERA SINCE LAST MAY, AND THE S/E I GET ARE GASSY, MOOD SWINGS, AND SOME HOT FLASHES. E/O IS DIFFERENT, HAVE YOU TRIED PROMETRIUM?

GOOD LUCK!

Thanks for the response! I haven't tried prometrium. My doc said that if I hadn't had af within the next 10-14 days then to come back in for tests. I took the Provera for 6 1/2 days so hopefully that will do something --- besides make me gain weight.
