"I have been taking this drug for 8mths. It was helping at first but the hot flushes are coming back more frequently now and I'm tearing up a lot lately. I had bloods done and asked if I could take a higher dosage as because the test showed I'm am definitely going through the change. She said no as it would increase my chance of breast cancer. I take .3 each night."

"Experienced menopause at an early age, had extreme menstrual problems from the beginning starting at about age 8. I am told after going through much menstrual problems my whole life I have several fibroids. Hoping that after menopause they would naturally shrink. Mine grew and cause me extreme pain. Hormone therapy has relieved this pain. However side effects I think cause me anxiety and I cry easily. When I try to cut back I only take it twice a week the pain comes back which is severe. I cannot stop taking it but the cost is almost $300 of prescription for I have no insurance for this. I noticed in the comments no one else mentions it used for this problem does anyone know"

"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 size amount twice weekly. It does help with peri-menopause 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."

"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!"
