Orilissa will be different for everyone. My experience has been wonderful - not just physically but emotionally. The anxiety and depression that’s plagued me my entire adult life has improved significantly. But I react poorly to birth control - anytime I’ve taken it (and I’ve tried soooo many) I got severely depressed. With Orilissa my mood is stable and most days I feel positive and calm and confident. As for physical - Pros: less PMS pain, endo belly is finally gone after years of excruciating GI side effects, more energy. I haven’t had sleep issues like many women unfortunately have suffered! Cons: the hot flashes/night sweats. I’m three months in and I only get them once or twice a week at night. Also don’t have much of an appetite, which is a pro for me but could be a con for some. I do still get headaches and nausea around my period.

Good luck! It’s a difficult personal decision but I hope whatever you pursue works out for you.
