I take Osphena 60 mg for this. It's helped tremendously. My husband also uses a Replens lubricant. I've also found Replens for myself helpful. I'm sorry you've not found support and help from your spouse. Be careful yiurself if he's having sexual relations outside the marriage. You might want to consider talking to someone about all that's going on for you right now.

@conniefg Thank you for your post! Osphena is very similar to the tamoxifen that I’m taking for breast cancer. But it’s less toxic. The effects on my vagina from tamoxifen is the same action that osphena has. Tamoxifen has a stronger effect on the estrogen in breast tissue and that’s why I take it. Osphena may be what I can take when I’ve finished the 5 years of tamoxifen. Thank you!
