Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Depression And Weight Gain When On Primolut?
Recently my doctor prescribed me primolut nor (2pills per day for 7 days in total) since he diagnosed secondary amenorhhea. I have already taken the recommended pills (the last was 3 days ago) however without results yet (period). The worst thing is that i fell awful, depressed, and I have already gained 2kg ( do you gain weight with primolut nor? shall my weight return back to normal when and if period appears?) . Do I have an other option for secondary amenorhhea (pill?) which will not affect me in this way? It s hard to work and see yourself becoming somebody else only just for you to gain your lost period.
Depression, insomnia and weight gain (fluid retention and swelling/) are the common side effects of Norethisterone, please meet your doctor to alter your medication.
