Title: Alternating Elleste Solo and Progynova
Post by: MummyPepp on August 14, 2019, 12:55:04 PM

Hello All

I have about 2 months' worth of Elleste Solo left and, like many, have been given another drug, Progynova, to take as Elleste Solo is out of stock for the foreseeable future.

But I have heard that the Progynova is not the same as Elleste Solo and some ladies have re-experienced the difficult symptoms which meant they took the Elleste Solo

I'm off on a long trip to Oz in September, and I was wondering whether it would be a good idea to take both and take one one day, the other the next day, and so on - basically prolonging the effects of my Elleste Solo as long as possible.

Does anyone have any idea whether this is madness - I don't want to ruin a long-awaited trip.

All the best x

Hi
I have been on progynova for 4 months and I was having bad side effects. The worst one was very low mood nearly like depressive and I decided to stop taking it. Also anger  problems, mood swings, constant hunger and eating.

I was prescribed  elleste solo but I heard is the same as progynova  I'm not sure? happy to hear something more :)
