Enjuvia updates anyone?

Hello sisters! I did a search on Enjuvia and came up with several posts of ladies saying that they were just starting it or doing well. I just took my first pill last night. This morning I woke up to something like I would expect of my four year old if you know what I mean. I'm only 30...please don't tell me I need depends to sleep in or that bladder issues is another symptom of hormones or menopause that I've yet to embrace. Cause it seems like I've held my arms wide open to every possible side effect of menopause by now and my arms are tired!!!

Also I'm suffering from very severe migraines. I noticed that migraines were a side effect listed on the bottle info for Enjuvia. (don't you just love how the docs always treat us with a med that has the same side effect that you are trying to get rid of...ugh...pet peeve of mine) If I don't get some relief from the migraines I don't know what I'm going to do. I'm pushing through them cause I have unfavorable memories of my own mother wallowing in them and letting them rule her life to the point that it seems like she could conjure up a nice headache whenever she wanted to get out of doing something. I do NOT want to be remembered that way so I'm pushing through that and all my menopause symptoms but I don't know how much more I can take. I collapsed this weekend and am now bruised up all along my right side from my foot to my arm. I can't handle any more fatigue, headache, or nausea. Please tell me good things about enjuvia...won't hold it against you if you have bad things...I just need some good right now.

will this nightmare ever end!

I have been on Enjuvia since June and so far, it's been ok to me. I have IC so I have bladder issues anyway. I don't have a lot of headaches anymore, maybe once a week now. I have a lot of fatigue, but I don't sleep good anyhow and take Rozerem. I'm sorry you're having such troubles now. Maybe soon your body will level out and you will feel better.

I'm also currently taking enjuvia 1.25mg it's been about 2 months.Started climara patch 1.25mg day after my surgery for about 3 months. I felt really awfull on the patch I had migranes, severe lower back pain, Fatigue, it wouldn't stick on for the week, and constantly uranating.
I'm finding that enjuvia seems to be working alot better. I do find that my eyes are more sensitive,fatigue is back(that hasn't change), migranes are better, done to once a week.
Is any one else having this symptons?
RCP, I'm surprised that your bottle of enjuvia, Had a listing of symptoms. My Pharm. has not been able to provide me with any information on enjuvia.
Is this hrt new?
How long does it take for HRT to adjust in the body?

My doc gave me two weeks worth of samples. In the sample bottles had the information sheets on the drug. When I was down to the last pill I decided that there had been enough marked change to take it to the pharmacy for a refill. FIVE pharmacies in the area had never heard of it and said they could order it for me, but it would take a couple of days. Apparently it's very new to the market! AND my insurance didn't have it in the formulary so it was 40 bucks for a month's supply!

To answer the question on how long it took to show results in the body....I started noticing some changes within a week. When they didn't have my prescription in I had to go a day without it since it was after the doctor's office had closed when I found out that they didn't have it. I just dropped off the script and came back to find that they couldn't fill it. I was in a mess. The next morning I woke up to a horrible migraine and throughout the day until I could get to the dr. office for a sample I counted about 20 hot flashes or warm spells. I was very irritable too. I absolutely couldn't believe the difference. The next day after taking the pill I noticed a marked decrease in the symptoms and by the next day I felt even better. It was an eye opener to how much my body really needed the estrogen and how the lack of it made me feel so bad. I went two months post op from the surgery that put me in surgical menopause before I had hormones. I didn't start showing signs of needing them until about 10 weeks post op. Then I was ready to rip everyone in two that came two feet near me. Now I'm starting to have more fun again.

I've officially been on the enjuvia for six weeks. It's done great but I'm two weeks post op from having my gallbladder removed now. I'm starting to notice my headaches returning. But I've also had severe diarrhea for 11 days as a side effect of the surgery. I'm wondering if it's effecting my pills and the time release of the estrogen.

I've noticed that my eyes are having problems too. They seem more dry and the sun hurts them. Gives me a headache to drive without sunglasses. I'm fatigued from my recent surgery...but prior to that I was starting to notice a return in energy. I plan on giving Enjuvia a little more time.

Research that I've done suggests that this drug is better for us than the animal products. My doc also said it was better tolerated with fewer negative side effects. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

take care!

I have been on Enjuvia since June 2006 and seem to be doing well on it. (prior to that I tried the patch twice, estratest HS and full strength, a hormone pellet implant and then Enjuvia).

I get headaches when my "testosterone" level gets low. Maybe your headaches are not from the Enjuvia but maybe from low Testosterone levels. Have your Doctor order a blood test that tests your "total testosterone" and also your "free testosterone", and see what the results are. When my Doctor added supplemental testosterone to my HRT then my headaches went away, so hopefully this will give you another avenue to explore for the cause of your headaches.

I would like to hear back from you and see how your headaches are going. . . hopefully they are getting better!
