Terrible Weight gain on Tibolone !
Posted , 7 users are following.
I had a total hysterectomy in 2006 after having 20 years of gynae operations for endometriosis, ovarian cysts etc. My consultant recommended that I take Tibolone to stop the endometriosis leasions from coming back. Since then I have put on approx 4 stone in weight even though I am an active person, I watch what I eat but now my dress size has gone up from a size 14 to my present size 22 in 2 years!! I am very depressed (even tho I am on anti-depressants) as my weight still continues to go up.
Do you think I need to go back to my GP to get reviewed by them and ask them to put me onto another HRT as I donot want to have night sweats etc but I can't cope with anymore weight gain. I cant even look at myself in the mirror at the moment as I'm not the same person that I was 2 years ago and I'm only 41 yrs old.
I know many other ladies out there have expreienced some weight gain being on Tibolone, but has the weight gain been as dramtaic as mine?
Help me before I get even more depressed....

there is no way I would be happy in this state - you have to way up the pros and cons for every situation - go back and see your doctor and see if you can try something else - what is the point of being so miserable - for most people, there is always an alternative.
Good luck,
Bridget

just wondering how you are getting on? I've been reading all livial posts, gets a very negative response.
Can I ask, did you stop livial and if so did your symptoms ease and weight returned to normal?
thanks

I am nearly 70 and have been on Livial for around 20 yrs with zero side effects. Hooray for LIVIAL! For me it had been a life saver. So there are positive postings you see. It's a matter of finding the right one for you. I was lucky. Anyone not feeling happy with what they are taking should go back to their GP.
