Hi I am on norethisterone to regulate my periods. I used to have periods that lasted months and were really heavy that I had to have medication to try stop bleeding. I was prescribed the mini pill but it didn't work I just bled all the time only lightly but continually. So switched to norethisterone which has worked making me regular and controlling the bleeding. However I never had pain, I do now, I get spots and emotionally as someone who is already on anti depressants i can't cope for that week. I get so paranoid, down and desperate. Is there an alternative?
