For Postmenopausal Symptoms "Complete Hysterectomy: I was on Premarin started about 6 weeks after hysterectomy because I couldn't handle the restless leg syndrome and having to move all the time. I was put on 0.625 mg, was on it from 2007 until 8 months ago. 5 weeks after doc took me off, my whole body and life went to double hockey sticks!! Anxiety, Severe! OCD crazy uncontrollable, and panic disorder through the roof. I am on Celexa 20mg daily and 1.75 mg broken into 6 doses. It works, but I don't understand why it just doesn't work the same. I never had such bad OCD, anxiety, or panic like this while on it and I want it back! I am gonna go get mammo, if it comes back clean, I'm going back on Premarin! Will my life go back to normal? Will I feel like me again, and want to enjoy life? I have two appointments."

For Postmenopausal Symptoms "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 for the prescription, as I have no insurance for this. I noticed in the comments no one else mentions it used for this problem, does anyone know?"

For Postmenopausal Symptoms "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."
