Hi i have recently stopped taking tibolone after taking them for 3 months due to having an ovary removed and the other reconstructed! I felt great taking them however after stopping them after being told to do so by my gyno i have had terrible night sweats. I have also come out in an outbreak of spots and my hair is so greasy after only 1 day of washing it!

Has anyone else experienced this if so any idea how long it lasts for?

Thanks xxxx

    Hi Jane

    I had a total hysterectomy 15 years ago and I still take tiberlone 2.5mg every other day. I’m now nearly 58. 

    I’m don’t intend to come off it yet. 

    A lady I know is 74 and she still on it. 

    I think if your happy and well on it take it. Unless you have health implications of course.
