| 5 | Initially for menopausal symptoms | I've had nothing but good experience with Premarin and Provera. Started for hot flashes and mood swings; am never going to quit it because I have become depressed in two days when on a trip and my prescription ran out. | F | 74 | 23 years 0.3 1X day | 9/17/2014 | 5 | Perimenopause | No side effects really, a little bit of cramping during periods. Occasional mild headache but ibuprofen takes care of that. | Absolutely brilliant, changed my life. I was become more and more irritable with age and it was affecting my life and work. I calmed down almost completely, my breasts got a bit of a lift, feel younger. | F | 50 | 120 days 1.25 1X day | 8/31/2014 | 5 | partial hysterectomy | None while taking it , if I miss a day or 2 I feel cramps, headache | F | 57 | 7 years 0.625 1X day | 8/28/2014 | 5 | oophoro-salpingo-hysterectomy 1981 | none | I have no osteoporosis and all my joints without arthritis and all my teeth | F | 74 | 33 years 0.3 mg 1X day | 8/21/2014 | 4 | Total hysterectomy at age 29 | Fuzzy head.......wake up feeling "out of it" | I started taking premarin the day after my surgery in 1989. I had absolutely no side effects from it for all these years. Over the past year I've noticed a continuous "fuzzy head" feeling that I cannot get rid of . I don't know if it's this medication or something else. | F | 53 | 24 years .625 1X day | 8/21/2014 | 3 | hystortomy | Weight gain irritated | F | 45 | 1 years .09 | 8/19/2014 | 1 | Menopausal symptoms | I was only on Premarin for one week. I had terrible headaches which crescendoed into the worst headache I've ever had. Since then I've had an MRI, X-rays, blood tests and have felt awful. I go to a neurologist in a couple of weeks. I wish I had read some of these reviews BEFORE I took Premarin . | F | 50 | 1 days | 8/2/2014 | 5 | Total Hysterectomy | No side effects. Took away Hot Flashes completely. | Took premarin for 2 years and then my insurance changed and had to change GYN doctor. The new doctor doesnt prescribe Premarin because of the breast cancer risks. So she put me on clonidine which is used for lowering blood pressure but also helps with hot flashes. It didnt work, so now she wants me to take Effexor which is used for depression and take it with the clonidine. I dont have high blood pressure or depression, so no, im not taking these. So, I am going to change doctors. I have been off premarin for a few months now due to changing jobs and insurance and trying to find a doctor that will prescribe me the premarin. My hot flashes are so bad all day and all night without the Premarin. Gained 10 lbs since I have been off the Premarin. I think Im gonna just bite the bullet and go back to my old GYN and pay out of pocket to be seen there just to get back on the Premarin. Its the only thing that works. | F | 44 | 2 years .625 1X day | 7/17/2014 | 5 | Total hysterectomy at 35 | No side effects at all | I developed a migraine a week ago so GP told me to stop premarin. OMG I have no ovaries so after a week hot flashes rapid heartbeat anxiety raised blood pressure I feel terrible. Will be taking my premarin tonight I just want to feel human again | F | 49 | 14 years 0.625 1X day | 7/16/2014 | 4 | Post hysterectomy 1991 aged 45 | Had taken Premarin for 8 years without any side effects. Within one year of stopping the skin on the front my lower arms and the backs of my hands became wrinkly and detached. I am embarrassed by the condition which is rapidly appearing weird and scary to my daughter and granddaughter. I am a retired nurse and always cared for my hands with frequent lotions etc and the use of latex free gloves. Im convinced the problem is the aftermath of taking Premarin but has anybody similar side effects 8 to 12 months after withdrawl. | F | 67 | 30 mgs 1X day | 7/6/2014 | 4 | To stop vaginal bleeding | None! | After yrs of iron deficiency anaemia, GP decided to start intravenous iron replacement. After 2x100mg (I required 700mg to correct my iron) infusions I proceeded to bleed vaginally & uncontrollably. I was started on high dose,5mg of Premarin twice daily for 5days & cyclokapron 1g 3x daily to arrest the bleeding as Gynae said the endometrium (lining of uterus) was too thin, causing the bleeding. Thereafter 28days of Premarin 0.625mg. My moods changed, depression lifted, boobs, hair & nails GREW!! Dry itchy skin went away. Irritability calmed down & sleep patterns back to normal. I've now had a partial hysterectomy (ovaries still in) as the bleeding persisted for 2yrs. Starting the Premarin 0.625mg tonight & CANNOT wait for normality to resume! My Mum had emergency Hysterectomy at 32. Been on Premarin for 30 yrs & says it the ONLY TRUE Happy Pill... | F | 46 | 4 weeks 1.25 1X day | 6/30/2014 | 5 | Dr prescribed | My new physician wants to take me off and after reading all of the comments of women my age I will inform her that I want to stay on the drug. | F | 75 | 30 years .065 1X day | 6/24/2014 | 5 | Total Hysterectomy at age 28 | None | I began taking .625mg of Premarin two days after my hysterectomy for endometriosis. I had no side effects and felt so much better physically, mentally, and emotionally compared to before my surgery. A few years ago my doctor reduced my dosage to .45 mg daily. The only change I have noticed is a decreased libido. | F | 45 | 17 years .45 mg 1X day | 6/1/2014 | 4 | hot flashes, fatique, depression | It is VERY expensive on the American market--mine are $2/pill AFTER insurance pays their part. My doctor advised me to order them from a Canadian pharmacy, which I have done, and they are now only 88 cents/pill with NO insurance required. Here is the one I use: www.pharmawebcanada.com | F | 57 | 6 months .625 1X day | 5/7/2014 | 5 | hysterectomy due to endometriosis | The only side effect I've really had is occasional nausea, but other than that, I love it! My irrational thoughts and mood swings are under control, my crying for no reason has lessened and the hot flashes aren't as bad. | F | 39 | 3 months .625 | 4/22/2014 | 5 | Hysterectomy and went into menopause | I was having severe hot flashes and horrible mood swings. I started taking Premarin and within 6 weeks I felt like my old self | I find it disgusting that the drug should cost me $118.00 a month for 30 pills and think there should be a law in overcharging! | F | 57 | 27 years .625 1X day | 4/16/2014 | 4 | keep strong bones | none other than weight little weight gain | F | 75 | 10 years .625 | 4/12/2014 | 5 | Hot flushes in menopause & Thyroid | None | F | 60 | 10 years .750mg | 4/7/2014 | 5 | quality of life | None. It takes 4 full days to fully work but only at 1.25mg. Lesser amounts dont work fully. Been on it for more than 20 years. Linit of 10 in this survey. | F | 54 | 10 years 1.25mg | 3/11/2014 | 5 | Total Hysterectomy at 33 | None | It is being overpriced. 30 pills are now $99. Generic alternatives have given me serious side effects. Why does this company make it so difficult for us. | F | 70 | 29 years .45 1X day | 3/7/2014 |
