I have been taking it for about 3 years. I am 43 and had heavier periods with severe pain, which we found out was from my uterus pushing on the arthritis in my lower back. My period has been gone all this time and I lowered my dose from 40mg daily to 20mg everyother day and it works just fine for me.

It could help, so you should take it as directed by your doctor. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, and PMS-like symptoms.

Have you started taking it, yet? Has there been any change?
