Enpresse has been both good and bad for me. At first it was great. It shortened my periods from at least 10 days to 4 or 5 days. I barely had any breakouts or cramps.

I sometimes experience migraines (before and during my period) that come with nausea, causing vomiting at times. I have a decrease in appetite and nausea... View full comment

I was started on Spiriva. Within 6 months I weighed 196 lb. and my A1c started to rise despite no change in diet or exercise. I went on a strict 1200 calorie diet, but couldn't lose. Still exercising at least 1/2 hour on treadmill at 3-4 mph at least three days per week, as I had been for three years even before I q... View full comment
