Hi there.
I am just comming to the end of a six month course of injections and I
experienced all the symptoms of full blown menopause suddenly around the
second month. I agree, it was awful and I thought I was going mad,
aswell as the hot flushes etc, my migraines worsened, I became very
depressed and very forgetful. I went to my GP who put me on
Kliovance(HRT) which I have been taking aswell as the Prostap. After a
couple of weeks there was a huge improvement, the migraines have almost
stopped, two minor ones in 2 months which is excellent for me!, and I
feel almost human again. I am now just waiting to go in for a
hysterectomy.

I had to pay my gyn 20.00 per mo th to give me the shot, which only took two minutes. The only thing I g t from my gyn was how much I weighed each month. I stayed the same all hru the six months. I was laid off from work, due to lack of work avail ble. I had to pay cobra 220.00 per month and 20.00 to Giant for the inj ction. It was very costly and did absoutely nothing for me. I was more depressed than ever. I believe it also causes cancer, but I have no inf rmation to back this up. Maybe others have had better luck.
