Reason: doctor prescribed for pre-ulcer Date: 17 June 2007
Side Effects
Incredibly sore breasts. Just awful. The website mentions "gynomastia" as a side-effect in men, but nothing for women. I also got a one-day period (the bleeding stopped when I stopped taking the medicine) even though I'm in the middle of menopause and haven't had a period in 4 months. Also very lightheaded and somewhat dizzy.

Additional Thoughts
Ick.
