For Perimenopausal Symptoms "I started taking Bijuva for post-menopause symptoms. Was on it almost a month. At first, I did okay, other than it causes vaginal bleeding. Then I noticed that my heart was racing after taking it. I went to the doctor, and she heard heart palpitations, which I had never had before. Then I went into tachycardia. I had to go to the emergency room because of very high blood pressure and very high heart rate. I was told it was caused by taking the Bijuva. My doctor, along with my pharmacist daughter, researched this medicine also, and it can cause heart palpitations and tachycardia. My doctor told me to immediately stop taking it. As soon as I stopped taking it, I am doing better. I would rather have menopause symptoms than have a stroke or heart attack! I would not recommend this drug to anyone."

For Perimenopausal Symptoms "I started taking Bijuva 21 days ago for premenopausal symptoms. At first, it did okay, then things started going downhill. Three days ago, I first started passing out off and on, and my pupils wouldn't dilate. My husband almost took me to the emergency room, but I started feeling a little better, so I didn't go. The next day, after taking it, I went to the emergency room. My heart rate was 114, and blood pressure was 210/110. I have never had this happen to me before. I also went into a sudden rage. This was a couple hours after I took it. I had been noticing a week or so before that my heart was racing every time I took it. This is a dangerous drug. I was told it can cause heart palpitations and tachycardia. Well, that's what it was doing to me! They immediately took me off of it. Since I have stopped taking it, I'm doing much better. Please, people, be careful taking this drug. It's one of the worst things I have ever experienced!!"
