"I just started Premarin 0.625. It works, but I feel I need a higher mg, because it works for only 4 to 5 hours. Then the burning comes back. It is working. Hope my doctor can adjust the dose. Ladies, Premarin dose is the key. Dose and strength are different for all of us. Don’t give up, work with your doctor :)"

"It's been two nights since I took the first dose of vaginal cream (1/2 gram) for vaginal pain. Since taking it, I have developed terrible anxiety, felt spacey all day, had a headache, and had trouble sleeping. My reflux, which was under control with Pepcid, has worsened. My doctor does not think these are side effects of the medication, but I do not believe that. Maybe the side effects will get better after more doses, but I am reluctant to continue using Premarin."

"I began Premarin cream a month ago, using a pea-sized amount twice weekly. It does help with perimenopause symptoms. My estrogen got very low, I ended up with prolapses, dryness, sweating, melasma, facial hair, acne, water retention, and mood swings. So, I was given the cream to help with burning and prolapse. My concern is that I still have regular menstruation, and no progesterone was given to me with this. The sweats and burning are improving, but all other symptoms are worse! Especially acne. I’m wondering if it’s estrogen dominance, even though the estrogen is low, but the doctors dismiss these concerns, and nobody will repair the class three prolapse until it’s all the way out."

"Doc prescribed it, but asked her to switch to Estrace and have good results. Y'all do realize that Premarin is a shortened version of Pregnant Mare Urine, which is what it's made from? They take large (most commonly Belgium Draft Horses) and confine them in small stalls for their 11-month gestation with their tails tied up and catheters on to harvest their urine. Female foals are cycled back into the program. Males are useless, so sold off to auction houses, some are lucky to get purchased by rescues, others are sold to end up as horse meat in other countries. The mares are bred again once they've foaled to continue the cycle. Ironic that a drug developed to help post-productive human females is derived from horrific treatment of female horses during their productive years. It is an awful life. Please find an alternative."

"Vivelle-Dot patch is the best to use. Natural plant-based Beta-17 Estradiol that bypasses your liver. Adjusted well for the pH of my skin. This is the one to use, not horse urine!"
