Beginning Serzone and Seroquel several years ago, I asked my pharmacist if my aggrivated symptoms of dysmenorreah (painful)and menorrhagia (excessive blood loss) were common. They are uncommon side effects, but mine was even more severe and extremely prolonged (weeks rather than days). After talking with my Natropath she suggested that I take 300mcgs of Vitamin K, up to 3 times a day as needed, as a coagulant. Checking first if this would interfere with my script and otc medications, and naturopathic items, I began this treatment. It was extremely helpful!
Not taking medication but still having this somewhat lessened problem, taking chlorophyll (also a blood cleanser) with naturally occurring Vitamin K has been helpful.
Arnica Montana is another remedy which may assist internally without as many possible interactions with other anticoagulant drugs. Again, definitely check for interactions before beginning what would seem like a benign substance, including foods in your regular diet.
