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)

 5  total hysterectomy at age 37 no side effects I have been taking for a very long time and feel it has kept me younger. I exercise and play tennis - have no osteoporosis - same height as when young. Good bones and muscle tone. Have put on a little weight as I grew older, but still feel great. Will never stop taking - insurance no longer covers it so I pay for it myself. Because of cost I started taking .3 every other day - still feel okay and no side effects so far. F 70 33 years

 3  Hysterectomy at 31 Going on it, I got pretty fast relief from vaginal dryness that had ended my sex life at 31. Now at 58, going off it has been pretty hard. I have not gained weight, but I do have regular hot flashes/flushes and now, after 6 months, I can't sleep more than a few hours, even though I am tired, some times exhausted. I am nauseous a lot, and the quality of vaginal dryness was shocking. I am not talking discomfort, I mean PAIN. Stop! and I'm not doing this kind of pain. I went onto P when I had severe vaginal pain with sex, a year after hysterectomy, leaving ovaries in. Doc said it is very common for ovaries to quit working after hysterectomy. I was 31, now am 58. Premarin was great, erase all the symptoms (for years) and I had my ovaries removed ten years ago, staying on the same does, which is pretty high. When the heart attack stroke correlation was made public, I asked about going off or taking half as much and doc acted like I was silly, saying might as well quit, since .675 was the same risk-wise. That doesn't jive with the medical reports, and now I am worried all my docs are under the influence of drug reps. My Mom was on it for decades, dying at 80 after a stroke, so when I finally read all the little tags stuck onto my Rx bottle, I felt stupid for taking it so long. Now my doc (different place) says to do whatever I want... Geesh. I pay for her expertise and really feel no confidence in any of them any more. I also take thyroid replacement, have for decades, and I remember doc telling me to NEVER get the generic, because synthroid was so much better and the amounts were so critical, the generics weren't reliable. Then decades later, I get notice of a class action law suit, won by generic manufacturers, because docs had been saying just what mine did, and it was proven to be false. I am sure my doc believed it, but I am also sure he got his education from the drug reps. So now I am guessing the Premarin info is probably the same. Ki F 58 26 years

 5  hysterectomy none After a hysterectomy in 1982 I began taking a dosage of .625 premarin and remained on it until 2009 when I began a reduced dose of .3. I have never had side effects from either dosage with the exception of all the good stuff. No hot flashes, lots of energy, no hair loss and good joints. After reading articles about adverse effects I have tried going off it a few times by tapering off but have always gone back on, wondering "what was I thinking"! I may try to reduce my dosage again gradually but may never get off it altogether. My doc said slowly get down to the lowest dose that meets your need. And I do mean slowly! F 66 31 years

 1  hysterectomy/Oophorectomy Gained 30lbs.. blurry vision.. sleeplessness.. moody.. memory loss.. leg pain.. NO PATIENCE AT ALL If all of these side effects are actually from taking Premarin, this drug is ruining my life and my marriage! I would rather be a happy, skinny, well rested, sweaty wife/mother with hot flashes than an overweight, miserable, tired wife/mommy that doesn't remember what she did 10 min ago while limping around the house always yelling!!!!!!!!!!!!

 5  hystorectomy at 34 apart from some weight gain all positive. I suffered badly with the menopause before premarim, I visited doctors for 4 years with exhaustion, insomnia, weakness in my muscles, acheing joints, severe headaches, anxiety, hot sweats towards the end, I was unable to work I had to close my business, In the end I had to sell my home I lost everything. I found out later the female doctors I had seen were anti hrt, therefore putting their personal views before my health. I started taking premarim in June 2009 and felt a difference after 3 days after 2 months much much better and delighted that I felt normal again when my grandson was born in August 2009. I have now bean on premarim going on for 4 years, healthy and back at the gym. I can never thank the male doctor enough for giving me my life back ...... I will never come off premarim, I would change practice first. My skin is glowing, my hair shiny, I sleep well, anxiety has gone apart from some weight gain I am very very happy with premarim, we all gain weight in our 50,s anyway. I am more than happy to go to the gym and watch what I eat, it's a small thing to do to be healthy and feel so well. I should also say on check ups all my stats are spot on :-) BUT AS I SAID, ON PREMARIM FOR LIFE for me personaly it is the quality of life that counts X ( posted via android may be the odd mistake) F 53 4 years

 5  premarin before the drug i was experiencing panic attacks,anxiety,sleepless nights,memory loss,aching joints,tearful,and generally run down. had a THR 2 yrs ago,one remaining ovary and i guessed that ovary had stopped working so far premarin as helped me,i notcied an almost immediate reaction to it,i felt like a plant that had been finally watered. taking HRT is not a path i wanted to go down and i tried hard to deal with the symptoms on my own,but it just got too much,my quality of life wasnt good at all,and i was sick of being sick. so premarin right now is working for me,and everyday i feel improvement. its frightening what women av to go through.
