Advice please

Has anybody taken Dienogest (Zalkya) 2mg tablets for Endometriosis? I've recently been given these but a week of taking them I feel awful with low mood, tiredness and headaches.

I've previously had Prostap but didn't like all the side effects. I'm waiting for a 3rd laparoscopy before they will do a hysterectomy but I could be waiting another year. I've already waited 8 months to just for my first appointment with a consultant endometriosis specialist.

This is getting very frustrating and I feel like mentally it's making me struggle.

I've been on them for 6 weeks and they give me sickness and headaches but they are meant to help slow everything down and not as much bleeding when they operate so. I'm sticking with them. I don't want my endo to travel anymore upmy bowel than it has xx

Thank you for replying. I'm in the same position with endometriosis on my bowel also. I have stopped the Dienogest. I feel like I should have stuck with the side effects but can't cope with the low mood and headaches when working.

I hope your op goes ok and you get some relief xx
