This drug, as well as other HRT, also has many potentially harmful side effects. It is important to talk with your doctor and pharmacist to know exactly what treatment effects you should expect, as well as any side effects to be aware of.

"Many trials reported a beneficial effect of tibolone on fatigability, frequency of headaches, psychological instability, and insomnia (7, 10, 11). Genazzani (9) found that the relief of hot flushes from the second month of treatment was associated with improvement of both mood and insomnia."
