My doc put me on premarin I researched everything I could but I cant find this answer anywhere.
When taking this or any other kind of HRT does all the hot flashes stop? He recently raised the dosage but Im still having hot flashes especially at night, I dont want the dosage to keep being raised due to all the other side effects and Im not sure if this is the norm. thanks any advice would be apprecicated.D Posted on 06/11/09, 10:06 am |

I started on Premarin the lowest dose and I had to have my gyn raise mine as well. I take .9mg and after a couple weeks I noticed a huge difference. I dont have hot flashes and cold sweats really bad in the middle of the night any more. I still have them but they arent as bad as they use to be....lol That was horrible. How long have you been taking your raised dosage? I was told it takes a couple weeks to get through your system good. At least thats what my gyn said and he was right for me anyways.

Thank you, I started on the lowest dose 2 weeks after I got out of the hospital,had it raised,been now 3 weeks,I noticed a change but nothing major, Its always worse at night, since I live in Az its hot all the time so that doesnt bother me during the day. Im just concerned about having it raised again. I have blood clot history and all kinds of stuff like that in the family and just was tested to see if I have that gene, thats why Im so concerned about having the meds raised again. silly I know.

It's not silly at all. I know when my gyn first put me on it I wasnt sure if I really wanted to take premarin. You hear different stories and of course the side effects of taking it for so long. I thought, " I have to take this for 12 years?" Since I'm 38 and menopause isnt till around 50yrs he siad I would be on premarin till then. Your health comes first and if premarin isnt working for you and they have to up it again I would be asking for another alternative. My sister in law gets hers from a health store but I would hate to go back to the hot flashes till I found what works for me. Good luck and take care. I hope this works for you.

I have used various HRT treatment and I still had hot flashes...true sometimes it wasn't as bad as other times but it was still annoying :) My doctor has since taken me off all of them because of the cancer link so I have managed on my own now for 6 years.
