I love my Premarin! | Becasue my insurance would no longer cover Premarin I tried Estridiol. OMG! Estridiol is a nightmare. I have been on Premarin for YEARS post Hysterectomy and felt fine, off it, I started having hot flashes, weepiness, agitation, anxiety, depression, night sweats, forgetfullness, headaches and feeling just terrible.

Now I have reduced my dosage to half and I take every other night, was having just a couple of flashes a day with anxiety attack's. So Dr perscribed Venlafaxine ER 150 mg capsules 1 X a day and this has helped with hotflshes, mood and anxiety, been on for a year now, the only side effect has been no sex drive and I'm ok with that since my Divorce and I live alone. Good luck ladies... Life is good :) | F | 49 | 16 years 0.45MG 1X day | 2/5/2012 | 5 | No side effects although recent episodes of high blood pressure. | Taking Premarin for 30 years, good bones, hair skin and great energy, look very good for my age but don't feel vanity is issue. Generally very healthy other than BP issues. | F | 73 | 0.3 1X day | 2/4/2012 | 4 | complete hysterectomy | I have been taking premarin since I had to have a complete hysterectomy when I was 34 years old. My gyn and I have talked about the effects of long term use of premarin, but I have no family history of cancer or heart disease. I have thought about trying to get off of it. I have been trying to wean myself off of it, but I am so tired that I could sleep the clock around. I can't seem to function at work, I am debating on going back on it. I felt so much better while taking it, had no side effects while on it. | F | 54 | 19 years 0.45 1X day | 2/2/2012 | 4 | complete hysterectomy at 25 | started at lowest dose and was still feeling bad, went up to 1.25 and was doing great. Stopped for fear of side effects of taking to long and now I'm miserable! | I am worried about the long term side effects but as soon as I can I'm talking to my Dr. I have a very active 6 yr old and since I've been off the Premarin I haven't been able to sleep, hot flashes and night sweats are terrible and so are the mood swings. At least with the Premarin I was able to play with my baby and rest and not have to worry about my sex drive. Also didn't have to wear just t-shirts and my hair up all the time because of me feeling hot and sweating all the time. What was I thinking getting off the Premarin, never again. | F | 31 | 5 years 1.25 1X day | 1/22/2012 | 4 | Complete Hysterectomy | None | I had a complete hysterectomy in 01/2011 and was put on Estradiol 2MG and the dosage was doubled until 09/2011 and it did not help with hot flashes and lack of energy at all. Finally with prompting from me, my gyn prescribed me 1.25 MG Premarin. Within 2 weeks my hot flashes were gone, I had tons of energy and felt good again. Premarin worked when estradiol did not for me. My mom has been on it for about 25 years. | F | 46 | 4 months 1.25 1X day | 1/17/2012 | 1 | partial hysterectomy | Went in yearly mammigram they did needle biopsy now I have invasive ductal carcinoma. Great. My surgeon said get off premarin. | F | 53 | 10 days .9 | 12/28/2011 | 4 | Complete hysterectomy 2002 | none, until dosage was reduced to lowest available | While on Premarin the doctor started me out with 1.25mg dosage. I was on this dosage for several years. Then about 3 years ago the doctor wanted to reduce the dosage. The dosage was reduced to .90mg which was fine. No symptoms. The following year he wanted to reduce it to the lowest dosage of .625mg. I was not happy, starting having panic attacks, depression, etc. I just did not feel myself so I asked him to up the dosage back to .90mg last year. This year when I had my annual mammogram they found a suspicious spot so a biopsy was done. I was diagnosed with ductal carcinoma on December 5, 2011 and it was estrogen receptor positive so I have to stop Premarin cold turkey. I've only been without it a week. No symptoms. Lots of praying for healing and peace. Power of prayer is amazing! Please pray for me! | F | 52 | 9 years .90 1X day | 12/12/2011 | 5 | Hysterectomy at 28 years old | none | tried off and on for years to get off of it,(dr. suggestion) even recently going to one every other day. not doing this anymore...I am on it for the duration of my life... side effect when off are much more than when I am on the med. | F | 65 | 35 years .625 1X day | 11/12/2011 |
