Asked to stop Ginet while on treatment for lymphoma, suffer depression, low mood, abnormal vaginal bleeding. Will it go away ?
Patient: hi there/ I have just started taking Ginet 84 again after about two years. my Gynecologist told me to stop taking it when i was being treated for non hyodgkind lymphoma. recently i have been suffering from deprestion and low mood especially when pre menstrual. i asked my doctor if i could go back on ginet 84 and now i am. i have had abnormal viginal bleeding for the last  week i dont know weather to stop taking it or to wait and see if it goes away. i have been sick with the flu also...twice since i started it on the 30th of july Doctor: Hello, Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum. Ginet ,ingredients are cyproterone +estradiol and side effects of these two drugs mental depression. alopecia, hirsutism ( if use for prolong may develops endometrial carcinoma). Similarly cyproterone is not fit for you because it develops following side effects,galacorreha, benign nodules, alterations in hair patterns, fatigue , breathlessness, weight change ( gain or loss). More or less this (ginet ) also develops dependence as seems in your case. Now stop this drug and consult your doctor and get his opinion & treatment . Good luck. Dr. HET
