Premarin

My dr. wants to start me on Premarin 0.3 orally for menopause symptoms. I am 30 and status post total hyst/ooph. Anyone have any advice on taking premarin?

Is this in place of the Vivelle Dot you stated you were using in your other thread?

The vivelle dot isn't working well for me, he wants to switch to the premarin. But like i stated, not sure he is the right dr. to make the decisions.

I too tried the Vivelle Dot, and it didn't work for me. I was on Premarin .3 to start and then .45 for 6 months, but just recently went off it to go on compounded estradiol cream. Give it a shot and see if it works for you!

My TAH/BSO was 6/18/12. My Dr. gave me 1mg Premarin and in 3 days my hot flashes have gone from about 5 every hour to 2-3/day. Night sweats have gone away. I am going through some other troubles as far as the pain meds, but so far the Premarin has been helpful. I have endometriosis and the Estrogen can act as fertilizer for it's growth, so my Dr. is being conservative as far as hormones.

.3 is awfully low dose esp at your age I would think a higher dose would have been recommended.

Premarin is like all other hormones...works for some but not for others.

I started on Premarin .625 after my hysterectomy this year and my hot flashes stopped, the dryness, and mood issues went away. Each person is different, so give it a try to see if is right for you. You always can have the doctor lower the dosage later. Good Luck!

I take Premarin .045 mg. it's made all the difference in the world!
