I waved the white flag a month ago and asked my doctor to put me back on it. She was reluctant but I had already tried black cohosh, green tea and 3 different OTC drugs that were supposed to relieve the hot flashes. But before returning me to HRT she had me try venlafaxine. It didn't help either, and the "detoxing" was horrible. HRT works for me and I'll probably have to take it until I die.

initially worked great. No hot flashes and sleeping much better at night, Now that I am at 3 months of medication, I am more tired and now have weight gain! I feel bloated and tired. I plan to stop medication.

HOT FLASHES ARE BETTER THAN THE AMOUNT OF WEIGHT GAIN AND FOOD CRAVING FROM THIS DRUG. ALSO FLUID RETENTION IS NOT WORTH THE 10 POUNDS IN TWO WEEKS. DOCTORS APPOINTMENT TOMORROW FOR A DIURETIC FOR THE FLUID RETENTION

I sleep better. My chills went away. Daytime hot flashes went away also. Side effects for me is eating too much.

Energy level has returned and I feel years younger. Taking Prempro has cured the vaginal dryness and brought back my sex drive. No longer having hot flashes. Only problem so far is having trouble falling asleep at night.
