"i&#039;ve just completed my first week on orsythia. being that i had to start it during my period, i noticed a change in my cycle immediately. i&#039;m usually a 3/4 day-er. i am now on my 7th day with no sign of let-up. that&#039;s a bummer. from what i&#039;ve gathered from friends/family, it&#039;s just my body getting used to the hormones. but when is it going to end? no cramps, no mood swings, no headaches, and free! i guess, so far, so good. just ready to be off my period!"
