I had a hysterectomy at 37 but left the ovaries and they quit working 3 years later. Premarin stopped the hot flashes, weakness, sweating, shaking, & exhaustion within 2 days. Have taken it for 20 years with no problems. Because of health scares, tried to lower dose to .625 but got severe symptoms again & returned to .9 Health scare bugs my doctor, she says she gets conflicting reports constantly & just lets me choose whether I want to stay on it. I look really young still, dont know if the years of estrogen have anything to do with it. Published: December 29, 2007 ::

Complete hysterectomy July of 2007. Night sweats, hot flashes occurring off and on all day, unable to get a good night's sleep. Easily tired form poor sleep pattern. Started with 0.45 and it has helped a bit with hot flashes and sweats, but still have interrupted sleep and numerous hot flashes still during daytime. Consulting treating physician and will report further treatment! Published: October 10, 2007 ::

I have been on Premarin .625 for 30+ years after a partial hysterectomy at age 31. I have had no side effects, BP on meds at 120/68, weight 122, exercise, tennis, work full time, feel great. New, young, female Dr. wants to take me off because of "possible" side effects. I am very upset. Thoughts? Imput? Help! My life is great right now and I feel "If it's not broke, don't fix it." Would like some feedback. Thanks Published: June 16, 2008 ::

I've been taking Premarin .625 since my full hysterectomy in May 2005. Recently I started to experience shortness of breath and an irregular heartbeat. I am worried that it has to do with taking premarin. I just refilled my monthly prescription, but, am seriously thinking of not taking it anymore. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to stop night sweats in a different, less risky manner? Thanks! Published: December 08, 2007 ::

Had a hysterectomy at age 36 after a hemmorage from a c-section. Started have night sweats, hot flashes and severe mood swings. Started taking .625mg and immediately all symptoms disappeared. Dr. said that the hysterectomy should not have caused premature menopause, but had no trouble before. I have been able to loose weight also. Published: July 18, 2008 ::

It worked like a magic pill.The symptoms stopped almost immediately.It was like giving a drink of water to a dry plant, and i felt like the dry plant. Published: January 27, 2008 ::

I'ved been on premarin for one month after full husterectomy, has helped most of the time with night sweats and hot flashes but have gained weight and severe diarrhea and flu like syptoms. Does anyone have that problem? Published: November 05, 2008 ::

I have been on Premarin for 10 years, since my hysterectomy including the removal of my ovaries. I can tell immediately if I have forgotten to take my daily dose because I get hot flashes and feel extremely tired. Published: November 01, 2008 ::

I had a full hysterectomy May 2007, my dr put me on .625 and it has helped immensely with hot flashes, mood swings, night sweats and insomnia. BUT i have put on 20 lbs and am very upset about it. I eat right and exercise regularly, nothing is working. Does anyone know if I lower the dose and try to work through any symptoms that recur, will I lose any of the weight? Published: July 10, 2008 ::
