Horrible Cramps after Stopping Norethisterone
Posted , 3 users are following.
Hi, I am new to this site but posted this elsewhere too. I have endometriosis and was put on the Mirena coil after a lot of pressure from my GP in February 2014, had been on micronor up till then, which had reduced the pain but I was spotting a lot. The coil gave me a lot of pain and after 3 months fell out, and I bled so much I needed a transfusion. I was then put on Norethisterone 5mg 3 times a day, which stopped the bleeding but had loads of nasty side effects. I ended up being on this for 9 months and then my consultant said I had to come off them, so was weaned off through March this year and this was replaced by Noriday. I have had a huge amount of pain since then, cramping daily and my periods have been heavy and clotty, virtually back to back (though stopped bleeding for now). I have also had bloating, nausea, off my food, constipation, IBS symptoms, anxiety, anger.
I have seen a lot of posts from people using norethisterone short term for period delay but has anyone else had problems coming off Norethisterone after long term use? I have since seen the consultant and he basically says I will have to ride it out till my body adjusts. I am worried about how long this may take!

I too was on northistrone as was due on for holiday was on these for 3 weeks while on holiday (worst thing I eva did) come home stopped them this was Aug/sept 2014 .cramps bleeding and everything else ! Fast forward to July 2015 in this time I've had a hysteroscopy, minera fitted ( lasted 1 week ) ,minera fitted ( lasted 7 weeks) both came out ! All the time on northistrone except 1 week when they tried to swap me to provera and ended up in hospital with suspected DVT . until July 10th 2015 when I've had an Endometrial ablation because without the northistrone my bleeding was uncontrollable. Fingers crossed uncomfortable at the beginning and infection there its settled and will woop no bleeding yet ! good luck don't suffer .
