| 4 | Had a hysterectomy at 34 | None | Started it after my hysterectomy. I am healthy with no physical or emotional problems over the years. I take no other RX drugs. | F | 74 | 40 years .625 1X day | 4/21/2015 | 5 | Surgical menopause | None from Premarin, it's when I don't take it that there are problems. | I was 39 when I had my ovaries and uterus removed. My OB/GYN kept telling me that my anxiety, hot flashes, anger, and plain misery were all in my head because I was on a patch, then a ring which never lasted as long as it was supposed to. I finally went to a Reproductive Endocrynologist and she prescribed Premarin. it has been a godsend. I have moved to Australia and my GP (male) is telling me I should think about coming off. I'd sooner find another GP. | F | 46 | 5 years 1.25 1X day | 4/14/2015 | 4 | Total hysterectomy | none! | TAH 2 years ago due to fibroids....I didn't know how horrible it would affect my life. Premarin has helped me sleep better, I was up 4x a nite before, calm my hot flashes down, help my memory more, my middle doesn't look as bloated, my skin looks more refreshed! I would say it's definitely worth trying! I am like a hypochondriac....worried about stroke/cancer....hoping for the best outcome here 😄 | F | 42 | 3 weeks .45 1X day | 3/19/2015 | 5 | Partial hysterectomy | None | I have taken this forty years not ten but there was no number 40 | F | 75 | 1 years .625 | 3/11/2015 | 5 | Hysterectomy/oophorectomy | None. | This works so much better than the patches or gels I tried. Too bad it's so expensive. | F | 56 | 3 years .625 MG 1X day | 2/27/2015 | 5 | Hysterectomy aged 39 years | None | Been on premarin for 28 years. Am young fit and healthy for my year's and take no other age related drugs or medication. | F | 67 | 1 days 1.125 | 2/23/2015 | 5 | Perimenopause | So far - NONE | I am only 45 years old and have been in perimenopause for a while now. Because of my age it has taken a while to diagnose. I thought I was losing the plot, hot sweats, hot flashes, memory left the building, turned into Miss Snappy Pants I was beginning to despise myself and honestly thought I was making it all up. On diagnosis my wonderful male doctor prescribed me Premarin just 7 days ago. The difference in me is almost unbelievable. The calmness I felt within a couple of days, I could have cried through sheer relief. I am looking forward very much to my future with my fiancé, now I know my mood swings, lack of sex drive, and all the other horrible stuff that has been happening to me can now be finally controlled. Thank you Premarin I see us being friends for many years to come...… | F | 45 | 7 days .30g 1X day | 2/16/2015 | 3 | Menopause | So far no side effects!! | I started Premarin just a few days ago. I still have hot flashes, and night sweats, just not as intense. I am hoping after a few weeks my anxiety, hair thinning, and lack of libido will return. I heard of women having excellent results with Premarin so fingers crossed!! | M | 52 | 4 days .625 1X day | 2/9/2015 | 5 | hot flashes | None. | Started at 2.0 dose 20 yrs ago..down to 1.25, then .0625. Totally controlled hot flashes and mood swings. Dr made me stop 10 months ago...no reason except he said I had been taking too long. Hot flashes came back in 2 days but I had retired and thought I could deal with them for awhile. Still having horrible flashes, acne, and hair is thinning, etc. I've looked 15 years younger than my age for a long time with great hair, good skin, etc. I will find a new doc now to put me on a low dose forever. Don't mind getting old but the hot flashes and acne are killing me. I'm even getting B_itchy for no apparent reason sometimes and that is not me! | F | 68 | 10 years .0625 | 2/1/2015 | 1 | my vaginal wall is breaking down | I feel like I have suddenly developed bi-polar disorder. I am experiencing mood swings, especially the day after I apply the cream. I am not normally a crier but this is ridiculous. At one point today I was extremely angry, sad, crying and then laughing all at the same time. I am 62 years old and well past menopause and normally a very level headed and even tempered person. | The medication is working very well for the original problem but I am not sure I can tolerate the side effects. | F | 62 | 1 months 2 grams 3X W | 1/24/2015 | 1 | Once I learned how premarin is produced, I can't believe that it's still legal to sell this drug. The mares whose urine is used to produce premarin are kept constantly pregnant; most of their lives are spent in enclosures so small they can't turn around or lay down; and the foals are considered a byproduct and usually end up being sold for slaughter, usually for human consumption in places such as Japan. | F | 58 | 1X day | 1/15/2015 | 5 | Hysterectomy | Awful hot flashes and night sweats. Mental confusion and depression. | Just could not live with constant hot flashes and night sweats. Awake as many as 6times in the night. Started on 1.25, later on .625 and now on .3 for the duration. | F | 68 | 20 years .30 1X day | 1/12/2015 | 1 | Thin lining to vagina | Had a stroke both times been on it. Had to come of after first one. Then Dr. said it was a not what caused it . Started back hand another stroke ?? Never taking again. Strokes verified by scan and MRI. | Both times after coming of the cream. I have a temper problem. It is horrible. I get mad at the lest little thing. Its a wonder I am not in jail . | F | 67 | Cream 1X day | 12/28/2014 | 5 | Hysterectomy at 29 | A little weight gain but other than that my family likes me better when taking them, I feel leveled out when on them and have had only had a bad time when my doc wants to keep them from me for being late on my yearly! So far love this drug | If you start this medication I don't recommend stopping it without consulting first your family then your doc as your family will suffer more trying to deal with you | F | 31 | 8 months 1.25 | 12/18/2014 | 5 | radical hysterectomy | Excessive hair growth.bad skin | Just realised my nomads have nit got it in this month.

I feel great , have great bones , thick hair with just a few stands of grey , my skin is pretty tight and my weight dropped 5 lbs and evened out and even my family and friends say that my mood is more even , than when I was younger I have read the other posts about the cost of this drug in the USA , I live in Canada and I just Pd. $45.18 for 100 pills out right, no insurance ,at one of our more expensive pharmacy's I don't get it , just so sad to hear that people suffer either physically or financially for such a wonderful drug that they NEED . | F | 57 | 3 years .625 1X day | 12/13/2014 | 5 | Hysterectomy | First 15yrs 1.25 next 25 year .925 except for at55 yrs old doctor prescribed Plant estrogen side affects. my blood pressure high,tired, energy low, Then back to .925 premarin.

I will be going back on .3 after discussing with my doctor | F | 61 | 12 years .3 1X day | 10/10/2014 | 2 | Vaginal discomfort | I will not be taking this anymore.
