Esterified estrogens / methyltestosterone for Menopausal Disorders "I had a total hysterectomy at the age of 48. I have been on this drug for 19 years and it is a miracle drug with no ill side effects for me. I tried to wean off when I was 62 only to be miserable. Hot flashes, night sweats, no sleep, no energy, headaches, mood swings, and no libido. I have been told that Medicare has excluded this drug and removed from being paid for by insurance due to scientific evidence that it is not effective, ( which is so far from the truth), and not being FDA approved. I feel this is discriminatory and harassment against women who need this hormone replacement."

Esterified estrogens / methyltestosterone for Hot Flashes "After hysterectomy, the hot flashes and night sweats were awful, and I had no sex drive or sensations at all. The Estratest combination got rid of my hot flashes and night sweats and helped with the lack of sex drive and sensations. I also felt more clear-headed. I took the 0.625/1.25 dosage. I plan to reduce the dosage as I can to eventually wean myself from the drugs entirely."

Esterified estrogens / methyltestosterone for Postmenopausal Symptoms "72-year-old female with total hysterectomy and ovary removal at 45 years of age. Went into menopause immediately. Found an OB-GYN who had me on estrogen and testosterone injections monthly, which worked excellently to avoid symptoms. Moved to another state and health care system, OB-GYN was horrible. She just did not get it. My symptoms were: irritability, low libido, headache, sleep disturbance, severe mood disturbances, tension, depression, vaginal dryness. It is a nightmare. Estratest helped with all of these symptoms 100%. I would prefer to have continued with injections. But, for now, Estratest is at least helping with the symptoms."

For Postmenopausal Symptoms "JC in 2018 wrote a review that mirrors mine. I have taken this drug for 20 years. My doctor all of a sudden changed it to just estrogen. Although I only have a lot of sadness, crying, decreased libido, and the worst one of all, as if it could get any worse, “a loss so far of 1/2 my hair.” Well, for the moment, I’m taking things into my hands and returning to taking what I have left of this med to see if my hair will stop falling out. But for 20 years, this medication has been wonderful and needs to be put back on the market, or a personal letter of what health risk reason it was taken away should be sent to each patient that was taking it should occur! The public has a right to know, and we should not need to be investigators to find out!"

For Menopausal Disorders "I had a partial hysterectomy at age 29; started going through full menopause at age 41ish. Was taking estradiol, but had zero libido. Dr. recommended this EEMT to help with that part; however, I still have hot flashes, night sweats, no libido, headaches, massive weight gain even with diet and exercise, so I'm going to a hormone doctor instead - appointment is next month. I am miserable and on the highest dose available."
