Comment:
I have not had any bad side effects with the gel. My concern is how long am I going to take this, the rest of my life? Anyone have opinion on this? I am currently 57 yrs old.

Elestrin is a wonderful product and it is so easy to use. You will need to give it about a week to "build up" in your system but you will be so happy that you did! I can't imagine not having Elestrin - This product has given me my life back!

First day that I used it I became very confused. 2nd Day my brain felt like it was numb. 3rd and last final day I woke up with blurred vision. Wanted to try this because I had been taking premarin since 2005 every 3 days, I didn't like the weight gain. Will stick with Premarin

The only complaint I have is I am losing hair. Possibly going to stop medication because of this side effect.

After my surgery I went into full menopause. My Dr. recommended this treatment, and since my hot flashes have almost completely diminished and my headaches that I have had for years has been life changing, so far this has been an effective treatment and my mood swings have improved as well..
