I just came back from an appt with a new dr. I told him that I had recently stopped taking Premarin. My old dr. said it was fine to take it and the studies were not that reliable. I was down to a small dose of 3.25. I have my ovaries, but have had a hysterectomy. The new dr. said I should not be taking the hormones but did not offer anything else. I have never heard of those pellets. I am 61. I have tried to quit the hormones several times before, but always caved in. This time I have to do it. I have some hot flashes, but also am very cold sometimes. The slightest stress, makes it worse. I guess I have no question, except is there anything else I can do for the hot flashes? I have no other problems except dry skin. My mind seems fine, but what was I talking about? oh, HRT.
I guess it does not matter how old you are, if you have been on HRT when you stop you will have symptoms. How long do they usually last?
