Hello @kend and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I can appreciate your frustration around the cycle of medication-related adjustments. It is nice to hear that your current doctor has agreed to re-prescribe Premarin if the long wean doesn't go as planned.

Have you ever tried this long of a wean previously? At what point did you typically see your symptoms re-appear previously?

No, most of the weans were short very short weans. Like in a week time frame. One lady doctor on base actually asked me to do it as a trial. If there was a problem she'd put me back on. When things fell apart she reneged and replied she wouldn't give it to her own mother. I told her, "One day you'll be my age and I hope you get treated the same way you treated me". She just plain lied to me and had no intention of putting me back on the Premarin. She was getting out of the military and really didn't care about her patients.

She also had a very bad attitude toward at least 2 of us. Another lady and I happened to be waiting to see her and we spoke and shared our commom experience with each other. Different ailments same bad experience with this doctor. I switched PMC and my new doctor put me back on. The younger doctors just have no experience with the older women and think thay know it all. I hope this answered your question.
