Prempro (conjugated estrogens / medroxyprogesterone) for Postmenopausal Symptoms "Have been on Prempro for almost a year. Did help with the hot flashes. I do experience a lot of headaches. I have also had a lot of hair loss since taking this. Just got in a letter from my pharmacy saying they will no longer pay for Prempro and giving me covered alternatives. Such as Estradiol-norethindron acetate, fyavolv, jinteli, mimvey and norethindrone-ethin estadiol. Does anyone take any of this HRT alternatives, if so what is your experience? Also, has anyone had hair loss from Prempro or any other HRT's?"

For Postmenopausal Symptoms "I started taking Prempro in 2014. This pill literally saved me. I started having hot flashes and night sweats at 32. I used to have at least 2 hot flashes an hour. Hardly ever got 4hrs sleep at night from flashing and sweating. Didn’t want to go anywhere because I was embarrassed when people commented on my face lookin all sweaty. I have tried so many different remedies that did little to stop the flashes. So when I was prescribed this pill, within two weeks I had my first full night sleep. Hot flashes had eased up till they were gone. I went to my doctor and gave him a big hug and I cried. (Never thought the flashes could be stopped). I lost my pills on a vacation and had to go 3 week before I could get them refilled. Within the second week I started having flashes. I really can’t survive without this pill, but after 6yrs I am starting to notice some of the side effects getting worst now. Would like to know if there are ways to counteract any of the side effects."

Prempro (conjugated estrogens / medroxyprogesterone) for Postmenopausal Symptoms "I've been taking Prempro for the past month. The first week, my hot flashes got worse, but by week 2, they started to cool off. So far, I like what I'm feeling, but I can't sleep without my fan. I think I'm gaining weight. Today I got my second refill, and I started searching for more info. To be honest, what I read really scared me and made me rethink if I should continue taking it."

For Postmenopausal Symptoms "I started taking this drug in 1995. I’m now age 70. Over the years, I have reduced the dosage dramatically. My doctor prescribed the 0.625 dosage, and I use a pill cutter to cut it into fourths, which is equivalent to a 0.15625 dosage. This also reduces the cost significantly. I’m sure the drug company would say this is an absolute no-no, but it has worked for me for over 15 years now. My problem is that now no doctors will prescribe this medication for me. They say I shouldn’t still be taking Prempro at my age. I have absolutely no side effects from this medication, and they continually want to put me on Gabapentin to control hot flashes, which has many adverse side effects. I fail to see the logic in this thinking. So now I am dealing with sleepless nights and severe hot flashes."
Are you taking this medicine?
