Does Utrogestan cause you to be dopey
« on: June 28, 2021, 12:14:52 PM »

Hi everyone. I’ve been taking Utrogestan tablet and applying Estrogel for 6 weeks. I’ve noticed that I’m feeling rather dopey in the mornings after sleeping really well.
Has anyone else experienced this?
I’m just wondering if it is a side effect that will pass?

Hi,

I’m on day three of my first lot of Utrogestan and I’ve slept better, so far. I take longer to wake up and feel groggy for a good while.  I’m used to fatigue but this groggy feeling is different.

The drowsiness has only started for me over the past week so 5 weeks in. I sleep soundly and dream. I’m hoping the daytime drowsiness wears off.

Yes. It's got a bit better which I think is due to producing less of my own rather than getting used to utro. It's for this reason I intend to stay on long cycle sequi in meno, I don't want to permanently doped.

I just couldn't cope on Utrogestan, it wired me up at night and left me dopey in the day, felt worse than after a night with a newborn.  As i was working and had to drive a distance for school run i had to give it up and get a Mirena.

I have had the Mirena for 5 years now and had no issues when it was fitted, i was using daily vagifem though. At moment trying to get appointment for a replacement and keeping fingers crossed it will be straightforward again.
