| 1 | menopausal symptoms | My mother was prescribed this for 11 years and it GAVE HER BREAST CANCER. If you still have your ovaries and you take this, you run a high rist of breast cancer. If you have had a hysterectomy with ovary removal than you should be ok i think?? | F | 11 years | 4/19/2008 | 5 | hrt (hypogonadism) | only good side effects including weight loss ! (BMI was over 30) | My symptoms before trying it were : night sweats, muscle pain, osteopenia, high calcemia, high T4/TSH, libido decreased. I'm intersex (delayed puberty due to low LH-hCG bioactivity, partial gonadal dysgenesis) | 41 | 12 weeks | 4/18/2008 | 4 | total hysterectomy | weight gain right around the middle despite diet and exercise, joint pain, blurred vision | I found this site looking for answers. After reading 50+ negative comments and the 2 or 3 positive ones, I am tossing this drug. I am thrilled to see that I am not the only one with these symptoms! Whoever created this site.. THANK YOU! | F | 40 | 6 years | 4/18/2008 | 4 | complete hysterectomy | major weight gain, tire around the middle | I had a complete hysterectomy on ll/15/07, there was a mistake made and I ended up with my ureter cut. So a second surgery was required immediately. I did not have any hormone replacement until about 2.5 weeks after surgery. I went back to my doctor he prescribe climara patch, which would not stay on and caused my skin to burn. So the doctor switched me to premarin .625 and now I have a tire around my middle. I excerise six times a week for one hour since I was release from the doctor's care 1/8/08. I also have good eating habits, I have not lost one pound, instead I have gained. Reading everyone else's comments have given me the tools to make some changes. thanks | F | 51 | 58 days | 4/10/2008 | 5 | complete hysterectomy at age 40 | None at all! I stopped for awhile when all the scare studies about estrogen came out then asked to go back on them after a couple of years of horrible hot flashes and depression. I feel great with the low dose of this pill. | Take it, it works! | F | 56 | 16 years | 3/26/2008 | 3 | TAH CHRONIC TIREDNESS LOW SEXUAL LI | ONLY STARTED TO TAKR PREMARIN YESTERDAY AWAITING ANY POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS HOPEFULLY NONE | FEELING QUITE CONCERNED AFTER READING COMMENTS FROM OTHER PREMARIN USERS | F | 54 | 2 days | 3/26/2008 | 4 | Had a hysterectomy | hair loss, weight gain, stiff legs and joints, | I was put on Premarin .625 after a hysterectomy, it made me feel bloated, my breasts felt heavy, my stomach swelled, weight gain, my hair grew thin and balding, I was breathless, I came off it after 9 years and it was awful, dreadful sweats, skin dry mind was muddled, suffered this for 2 years, and went back on it but I would rather find a natural alternative to premarin. It does make my skin look younger, though and gives me more energy. | F | 65 | 15 years | 3/23/2008 | 5 | complete hysterectomy | No negative side effects | I have had none of the side effects others have mentioned. I feel the benefits far outweigh whatever negative press Premarin may get. | F | 58 | 11 years | 3/10/2008 | 3 | Complete hysterectomy | Vaginal dryness and thinning of the skin around the vaginal areas. | I have tried stronger strengths and have stopped taking it because I have felt so bad while taking the Premarin. I am now taking 325 dose. Actually I started searching the web to see what was possibly making me feel so "lifeless" now. I could actually stay on the couch all day long. No interest in anything and there is no other reason not to be interested in things. I'm just tired all the time! I sleep great with the help of melatonin and eat well too. | F | 44 | 7 years | 3/9/2008 | 5 | Hot flashes | none | I feel great and look much younger than my years... | F | 66 | 20 years | 3/6/2008 | 3 | complete hysterectomy age 16 | bloating, swelling of joints, skin discoloration, hair loss, breast tenderness, vaginatis, mood swings, | did not realize how bad this drug made me feel until I quit taking it two years ago | F | 46 | 29 years | 2/24/2008 | 3 | Hysterectomy, doctor said I need it | I am not sure if these are side effects from the PRemarin or from the Nitrofur they were giving me--weepiness, depression, anxiety, weird thoughts in my head. Sunday night, I had the adrenaline rush, fogginess and all. That was after my second day of Premarin. Sunday and Monday I was in pain(bladder) and they thought maybe it was a UTI. On the way to get the medicine, I had the adrenaline rush feeling again. That was the third day of Premarin and my synthroid. Monday night took the antibiotic. Tuesday, woke up with leg pain, and all week, the tingling and numbness and all in my legs was there, except Wednesday, until Wednesday night. Thursday, didn't take the Premarin, extreme fatigue and the head stuff started. Was still on the Nitrofur. Friday morning, head stuff was weird. Saturday, the head thing was fierce, felt like creepy crawlies, and extreme fatigue. They have all told me, oh it is just a viral infection attacking your nerves. Went to the ER Saturday, and they did a CT scan, t | Premarin 1.25, Nitrofur was 100 2 times a day, and the Synthroid is 75 mcg. I am really trying to decide about the Premarin and what to ask my doctor when I go back to see her. We are waiting also to see if I have an adrenal gland dysfunction and/or carcinid tumor. I had Ovarian Cancer in 2006 but they got everything and took everything out and have not had to have chemo. | F | 38 | 5 days | 2/20/2008 | 5 | Hot Flashes, Sleepless nights | I fell wonderful.

I have gone back on 1/2 dose, but plan to go back to full dose. I love my hair and the skin I had, want it back! I'm 69 and I'll continue taking 2.25 mg for the rest of my life. | I'll continue to take it. Started taking it when I was about 39 years old.
