Comment:
I had taken this before and gained quite a bit of weight and had water retention..I switched to the Climara patch which had the same effects but was a pain to use (always fell off in the bathtub). I switched back to this just recently so we will see what happens I guess.

Comment:
This acetate estrogen along with the progesterin keep my periods at bay. I've tried the Permarin/Prempro combo but had to deal with the return of periods/pain/spotting twice a month. Although some insomnia & night sweats still occur, I'd rather say NO to the period/pain.

Comment:
This drug has really been great at decreasing hot flashes in the winter season but during the summer it hasn't helped as much. I am not awakened at night by hot flashes anymore. I was wondering if my weight gain is due to this drug.
