Norethindrone for Birth Control

I was on tricycles and then I entered early menopause. My gyno switched me to this pill and I went from a 4 day period to no period at all. There were no side effects. Where has this been all my life?

Norethindrone for Birth Control

There seems to be an inverse relationship between how much a woman loves her birth control and how healthy it actually is for her. This particular option made me feel horrible, with effects ranging from exhaustion and depression to nausea and brain fog. If you suffer from anxiety or depression, I would recommend avoiding this treatment altogether.

Norethindrone for Birth Control

I haven't liked this medication because I've been bleeding for almost a month now nonstop. Is this supposed to be a side effect? I would rather go back to my normal self than take man-made medications like this.
