For Postmenopausal Symptoms "I took Premarin daily since 1975, with no problems, and felt great, young at heart, and full of energy. Last year, the insurance company decided they would not pay for it anymore and suggested Estradiol. I don't feel the same. No energy, hair thinning, and bloated all the time. Next doctor's appointment, I'm going back on Premarin even though it'll cost me a pretty penny."

For Primary Ovarian Failure "I've been on Premarin for over 20 years. When I started, I had side effects of bloating and constipation. Over time, those resolved. I don't know why I'm still having hot flashes 20+ years after menopause. Now I take .625 every other day due to the expense. That works. If I try to cut back to every third day, the hot flashes return in a short time."

For Postmenopausal Symptoms "I have been taking Premarin a little over a month, and my hair is starting to fall out. I am having stomach issues now, including odd bloating, and I still have hot flashes every day. I used to take Enjuvia, and it was the best thing ever, but it is no longer being manufactured or distributed. I can't seem to tolerate anything else. Does anyone know of something better? I take the highest dose of this without causing the high risk for breast cancer. I wish this stuff would work for me :("

For Oophorectomy "Unnecessary oophorectomy performed 2000, age 50, still having periods. Hysterectomy too, due to fibroids. Now discover that it's possible to remove fibroids, leaving womb intact! Suffering terribly from symptoms, given 1 mg of Premarin. Over three years, I started with severe headaches resulting in projectile vomiting! I was working at the time, so came off it entirely. No good! I tried different drugs, given Climaval, fantastic! Felt driven, confident, marvelous. Hair and skin glowing again. So, MHRA in the UK removed this drug from the market. I tried many more, I am placed on Premarin 0.3, which makes me feel nauseous, appetite affected as a result, and have arthritic pain. However, I stick it out as, mentally, I don’t feel too bad. The sickness fades, I am now stuck with bloating, flatulence, which is noisy and uncontrollable. Why aren’t side effects removed from these drugs?"
