PREMARIN  (ESTROGENS, CONJUGATED):  This medication is a female hormone. It is used by women to help reduce symptoms of menopause (such as hot flashes, vaginal dryness). These symptoms are caused by the body making less estrogen. If you are using this medication to treat symptoms only in and around the vagina, products applied directly inside the vagina should be considered before medications that are taken by mouth, absorbed through the skin, or injected. Certain estrogen products may also be used by women after menopause to prevent bone loss (osteoporosis). However, there are other medications (such as raloxifene, bisphosphonates including alendronate) that are also effective in preventing bone loss and may be safer. These medications should be considered for use before estrogen treatment. Certain estrogen products may also be used by men and women to treat cancers (certain types of prostate cancer, breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body) and by women who are not able to produce enough estrogen (for example, due to hypogonadism, primary ovarian failure).    (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 3  Menopause Was on .625 and .3 daily helped for almost a year until menopausal symptoms got worse mentally I was miserable. Dr up'd dose to .625 twice daily now I see some improvement but not much. I get massive headache's often,mood swings,but no heat flashes or night sweats? I'm in full blown menopause for about over a year my estrogen levels dropped and my free base testrone also dropped now at .625 twice daily we shall see if my blood work comes back with higher estrogen levels after 6 weeks?

 1  Partial hysterectomy 30 years ago About 2 months ago I found out that I had breast cancer and had surgery a lumpectomy and they said I tested 99% positive for cancer and it was because I took estrogen that long. I strongly would like to let people know that this is a very dangerous drug now I have to have radiation and take estrogen blockers for 5 to 10 years. Are there any others out there that can say the same thing? I took it for 30 some years and they did warn me not to take it that long but nothing else help and it was 30 years and that number would not come up when I pushed it it only said 10 years. I am now thrown into menopause which I'm miserable and I do believe if they feel they need to take this medication That they should only take it for a few years no more than that. I would hate to see more people get cancer because of taking them I guess I'm just not a good candidate for that anyway please ladies do not take this for as long as I did because it can be very harmful and if anybody out there has any advice for me As What could help me because I cannot take Premarin Anymore believe me having this cancer and then taken estrogen blockers For 5 to 10 years and radiation for 5 days a week Up to 7 weeks, my immune system is way down and I'm very Sick and I hate having to have hot flashes and be very very moody as I raise a great-grandson and have had him since he was born and he will be 7 In December so as a warning Please do not take this drug longer than you should I don't want to see another victim. F 65 10 years

 5  Hysterectomy and BSO Only good ones, like feeling normal again. After the hysterectomy I thought I was losing my mind - forgetfulness, terrible anxiety, couldn't sleep - even though I was on an estrogen patch. Once I switched to Premarin, all those awful symptoms went away and I feel great. F 59 8 years

 5  Complete hysterectomy at 33. I have taken Premarin for 37 years, starting with 1.25 mg daily and reducing the dose over the years to .45 mg daily I'm 70, but still taking it as I feel it is beneficial to my heart, bones and skin. Also, I'm afraid to stop! Both my ob/gyn and my internal medicine doctor agree it's ok to continue. F 70

 4  Hormonal imbalance Heart palpitations, anxiety, poor sleep, weight gain, mood swings, joint pain, sinus problems, and more Use premarin cream for UTI,after stopping it I had so many side effects it was terrible. We to primary Dr, just wanted me to take anxiety med. Saw my obgyn, and she wanted me to try the cream one more time, which I did against my better judgement, and after just 2 wks all the same syptoms. Weaned myself off & now suffering awful withdrawals. Neither Dr did blood work to check my hormone levels!! Trying to fix this a more natural way. Taking Maca, 300mg a day. Only been taking it 2 wks, but does seem to be helping. Just want my life back. F 64 2 months
