Premarin (conjugated estrogens) "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."

Premarin (conjugated estrogens) "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"

Cenestin (conjugated estrogens) "For a year post surgery I could not get cold. My family froze in the winter, honestly they blew smoke in the air it was so cold in my house. I was burning up still. I can't remember the few meds I tried before my GYN finally prescribed Cenestin. End of story. Total fix within a few days. But now I'm told it is no longer being manufactured. On Premarin now.... We will see."

Enjuvia (conjugated estrogens) "Enjuvia helped me with my sudden menopausal symptoms after I had to have a hysterectomy at 47 but I have gained a tremendous amount of weight on it. (60 lbs, at least). I don't know for sure that it was the Enjuvia, but I was slim before I started taking it and now am obese. I ran out of it recently and noticed that I immediately started to lose weight, without even trying. I will update my review when I have been off of it longer. I have been at my wits end trying to lose weight, so hopefully this will help."

Enjuvia (conjugated estrogens) "I depended on Enjuvia for 5 years but for the last 2 it has not been available. I felt healthy and happy while taking Enjuvia with cognitive sharpness, physical stamina and stable mood. Headaches, word search, night sweats and skin deterioration all returned in the last 2 years while taking Estradiol. It has been like falling off a cliff. PLEASE bring back Enjuvia!!"

Enjuvia (conjugated estrogens) "I started this medicine right after having a hysterectomy, I have been on it for about a 15 months now and I have gained a tremendous amount of weight. I still have real bad hot flashes and mood swing galore."

Enjuvia (conjugated estrogens) "Please tell me you are still going to be making Enjuvia. I have been on this drug for years and it really works great for hot flashes and mood swings. I need my prescription filled and I am totally out it. The pharmacies are all saying you are not making it any more and that there is no genetic drug- period. I beg you to still make this product. What are we to do if we can no longer get it and there is no form of a genetic made? Us patients can't go off of Enjuvia cold turkey. Evidently, the pharmacies were not warned ahead of time and neither were the Prescribing doctors., that the drug was stopping being made. This is terrible."

Cenestin (conjugated estrogens) "Wish they still made it. I was allergic to everything in other hormones. Gave me chronic migraines. Cenestin was the only hormone I could take that didn't. Glad I'm old enough not to need them anymore. They really should start making them again for the 1000's of women I met at migraine clinics"

Premarin (conjugated estrogens) "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."

Premarin (conjugated estrogens) "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."

Premarin (conjugated estrogens) "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!"

Cenestin (conjugated estrogens) "Awesome. Started working right away, within a day or two. No noticable side effects. Easy to take. Only drawback is some insurances do not accept it and it is rather expensive. All natural."
