Birth Control
"My doctor prescribed Camrese to lessen my increasing heavy periods (presumably due to perimenopause). I&#039;m at the end of the sixth month taking this drug and have nothing positive to say about it. I&#039;ve gained 10 pounds in 5 months and am depressed that it&#039;s summer and I can&#039;t fit in my size 4 clothes anymore. What&#039;s worse is that I&#039;ve had consistent break through bleeding for the last 2 weeks and expecting the &quot;forced&quot; period next week. (I&#039;m wondering if I should just DEAL with the uber heavy periods - at least they were predictable and only lasted 5-7 days). There was also 5 weeks of spotting during the first 3 months on this pill. Needless to say I&#039;m consulting my ObGyn next week to try something different. This pill&#039;s not for me."
