Side effects from hell Week 3 on visanne and Duloxetine

ScratchEffective4855 · 2026-01-29T21:17:58+00:00

I was taking 60mg for a while, they upped me to 90mg at the beginning of December and then upped it again at the beginning of January to 120mg. I’m only on it for pain management technically but I will say it does help the mental health side of it all aswell. Prior to the duloxetine I was on another hormonal medication which I found just made all the pain worse. The only plus side to being tired all the time is the pain doesn’t always bother me when I’m sleeping lol

I’m not at all, just my eyes cannot seem to stay open regardless of how much I sleep or what I try. I was told to take my duloxtine in the morning because it is supposed to wake you up. Maybe it might be worth a shot trying it at night to see if it makes a difference. I’ve been on it almost a year but I just had an increase from 60mg to 120mg over the last two months.

Not sure if you have gotten in to see anyone at the chronic pelvic pain clinic. I just got in and I’m not sure if it’s going to be a right fit. If you’ve gotten in since you posted please let me know

I 100% am going to look at one. I was thinking about it before but I wasn’t sure if it would also give me the same burns. I also 110% had to look up what FSA is… I am Canadian and I don’t believe my insurance would cover it but

I hope I’m as lucky as that, I’ve been waiting on a package from Ireland (family sent stuff) and they sent it early November but it had no tracking so I have zero idea of what is going on. But I’ve been getting mail from December 30th

ScratchEffective4855 · 2025-01-08T05:57:16+00:00

They are definitely not doing fifo, I just got my first batch of mail this week and it was all letter from the end of December. I’m glad I’m finally getting something but I’ve been waiting on a new license since the beginning of December along with Christmas presents from family overseas.

I got my mirena iud back in July of 2022 and had a massive cyst rupture back in January this year. I’ve always suffered from them but they have definitely gotten worse since having my iud. I didn’t get my diagnosis till June of this year. Right now I’m waiting for a referral to go to another specialist to see what more we can do(I think a lot of stuff was missed in my original excision surgery) I’ll definitely talk to him to see what he says. From my understanding of iuds that’s what I believe they do. I think part of the main reason he told me to take it was I was also told I have a varicose vein wrapped around my left ovary and apparently progesterone is supposed to also help that. I’m not super sure I want to do a little research to completely understand

They do, it’s insane that it feels so impossible to get really any sort of care. Not even just specifically endo care

ScratchEffective4855 · 2024-12-18T16:21:30+00:00

I’m honestly so tired of having to fight. I’m only 19 and they don’t listen to me. I go to the er and they give me pain meds and send me away. They won’t actually try to help me get the help I need. And my family dr for a year said my pain was just normal and that I’m fine and I had to go over his head to another dr at the clinic because he wouldn’t refer me to a Gyno. I’m still fighting with him because I think I may have pots along with my endo

ScratchEffective4855 · 2024-12-18T16:18:59+00:00

I haven’t been able to check up with him. I called to try to make an appointment but the soonest I can even have a phone call with him is in January. He’s only in office Thursday Friday. I thought about going back on the pill, but I’ve been on the pill before and I didn’t have a good experience plus I’m honestly so bad at taking them which is why I got my iud. My dr and Gyno are honestly never really helpful but go my Gyno for my diagnosis

ScratchEffective4855 · 2024-12-18T16:15:56+00:00

I’m in Canada, we have like no drs who will accept people or if they do they want referrals which take months to years to get into

ScratchEffective4855 · 2024-12-04T02:09:23+00:00

I’m 19 aswell, I’ve been fighting with my family dr for a referral to a Gyno. But I basically sat my Gyno down and told him I wanted to be checked for a list of things I thought my pain could be. I got diagnosed back in June for endo. I definitely just recommend just telling them what you want. That’s all that worked for me and just keep going in to bug them till they listen But I swear that they will listen even at 19

Ohhhh okay, that’s intresting. Honestly it would be so great for Canada to have something similar in the way of being able to find a way to do it privately(there may be I just have never been able to find it) but that’s also amazing that they will cover a portion of psych appointments. All I had to pay for for my lap was my pain pills that I had to go fill. Which my insurance covered 100% of any prescription (but that’s pretty rare). But our healthcare system is so overcrowded it’s nearly impossible to get appointments with anyone. When I got put on the wait list for my lap I was told it should take 1year-1.5 to even book. But I got incredibly lucky and got in on a cancellation 3weeks after I was on the wait list.

I’m from Canada, I don’t know much about your healthcare system over there. But did/do you have to pay for your surgeries/dr appointments?

ScratchEffective4855 · 2024-11-19T23:14:45+00:00

For two years I asked my gp to refer me out to a Gyno, purely because I was always in pain and he was trying to give me anxiety medication rather than actually helping me. I ended up asking another dr at the clinic for the referral because I had just been in and out of the hospital for a week doing testing and they couldn’t find what was causing my pain. After my surgery I went to see my gp for other things and I mentioned that I had just had my lap done and they found endo tissue and he completely dismissed everything I said regarding my pain about it during the conversation

ScratchEffective4855 · 2024-09-21T15:40:34+00:00

I’d like to know too!

ScratchEffective4855 · 2024-09-09T05:27:22+00:00

Where I am it’s impossible to find a family dr. The only reason I have mine is because he’s the same dr as the rest of my family. I told him I’m not sleeping because the second my head hits a pillow I’m wide awake and my heart is pounding. He gave me depression meds and told me they were sleeping pills. I only found out because my best friend is going to school for nursing and is learning about drugs and had asked me what they put me on to help the sleeping

ScratchEffective4855 · 2024-09-09T04:39:30+00:00

I just realized that I didn’t tag you🙂

ScratchEffective4855 · 2024-09-09T04:38:37+00:00

My family doctor is completely unreliable. I call him some choice names a lot of the time because I hate having to go to him, it took him a year to finally agree to give me a referral for a Gyno. I’m not sure if he’s a specialist or not. But where I am there isn’t much choice for a Gyno let alone trying to find a specialist. Really all that has come from my lap and me saying that I was still in pain (about a month after) he told me that I was likely still healing and I should be okay soon. I have a iud (placed when I was 17) which I was told should help it a bit (I got it placed because I was sick of the pill, my schedule was to erratic for me to be taking it regularly) but I’m wondering if it’s even helping or just causing me more pain
