No registration is required and your identity remains anonymous.I have taken Osphena for 7 years already due to a lot of anxiety and now some mild discomfort in my lower pelvis region, along with burning which I have had. I think I have to stop this pill. Has anyone else had this experience? ## Why do you think you have to stop it? The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, administration site irritation, vaginal discharge, vaginal bleeding, and cough. However, this medication does nothing to help with anxiety. Why was it prescribed? Are you on any other medications?

I don't know where I found this, but I want to know what it is!! ## There is a 60mg Osphena tablet manufactured by Shionogi INC that matches this description. It is an estrogen receptor modulator, it's used to alleviate pain during intercourse in menopausal women.

I can't try it under the same DEEP discount???? What women over 65 don't enjoy having intercourse?? Or disabled women?? If it worked I would be willing to pay the 177. per month so why can't I get the same benefits???? ## Hello, Luanne! How are you? I'm very sorry about the problem you've run into. However, that limitation is not actually one imposed by the manufacturers, but by t...
