Doctors try to get me off Premarin for years. Everytime I try I start getting menaposal symptoms. It gets so bad I wind up with no quality of life. The base doctors always want to change up all my meds. They want to put their stamp on my meds, in other words fix what is not broken. They keep insisting until I relent which means weeks to months of pure hell. Sometimes the labs get so bad I am literally a hot lab. In other words they mess up things so bad I could become a statistic, dead. I am 65 and been on preamrin since 1/99. I wish the doctors would believe me I know what the outcome will be but some just will not take no for an answer. You see I get a new very young doctor every 3 years or sooner. What a pain. This new doctor wants to try a long wean over 9 months. I agreed but the deal is if the flashes etc... starts he'll give me back my Premarin. Will see what happens for the umpteenth time this has been tried. Wish me luck! I hope I live through this hitting my head against a brick wall again. The result has always been the same a failed try and I get to pay the consequences everytime.
