User Reviews for Prempro oral

I've been taking the lowest dosage of Prempro for approximately six months and it has worked well to say the least. Not only has it decreased my hot flashes and mood swings (I have reduced desire to strangle people, LOL), but also lessened the frequency of my migraines and helped to calm my IBS-D issues -- two things I wasn't expecting. I also sleep better. I currently refer to my daily dose as "The Wonder Drug."

I started Prempro about 8 years ago when I started having serious hit flash attacks regularly. I appreciate how well this prescription has worked very well for me.

I’m 61 y.o. I haven’t had a period for the last ten years. I had hot flashes but moderately. My thing was the night sweats, vaginal dryness, painful intercourse and no interest in sex at all which my husband was not thrilled about. Been taking Prempro 0.3/1.5 mg for almost 2 months and the night sweats are gone and sex is much better. I do experience increased appetite, occasional constipation; gained 10 lbs. and no matter what I do it won’t budge. I watch everything I eat and workout at least 5 days a week, so this is disheartening. Sometimes I experience leg/hamstring cramps and a lack of interest in things I used to enjoy. I’m torn…Read More Read Less

For more than a year, I tried black kohosh,soy isoflavones, evening primrose, sex essentials, hot plants and wild yam cream to no avail. I used to have to strip down and sit in front of a fan just to enjoy a cup of coffee. No more! In less than a week, Prempro.45-1.5mg knocked out all the hot flashes and those horrible nite sweats. Saving the best for last, it restores the vagina from the ravaging effects of menopausal changes such as dryness and pain during sex. What a wonderful little pill!!! Read More Read Less

I started this medication about a week ago, and have not had any issues with it yet, but I have not had any relief with my hot flashes yet and was just curious what others thought. My Doctor told me it could take up to 4 weeks to see results. After reading these reviews, this med scares me a little. I am going to give it 3 months as this is the supply that I bought. I am hoping for relief, as of right now nothing. And I really do not want that weight gain.

I took this medication for three days. The side effects happened so quickly and they scared me. Severe headaches,nausea, chest pains and severe mood swings. I quit it after telling my doctor and will suffer my menopause symptoms!

I'm 72 and STILL suffering from hot flashes. I began taking Prempro about 20 years ago and decided to quit and just suffer from the heat about a year and a half ago. 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. Read More Read Less

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 have been using Prempro 0.3mg/1.5 tabs once a day for 3 weeks. My hot flashes has diminished greatly. I do keep the window in my bedroom slightly open. I may have one hot flash episode an evening. I sleep better. My chills went away. Daytime hot flashes went away also. Side effects for me is eating too much. Today I'm going to start dealing with that problem since the flashes and chills are no longer a bothersome issue any more.

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.

Major difference however, weight gain, constipation and bad headaches. After being on it for 2 1/2 yrs., it took 3 tries to finally come off it. The headaches while weening off were horrific! Twice I just couldn't take it! Eventually, during a bad cold/flu I just went cold turkey and stopped the prempro. I'm free! Looking for natural supplements now.

I am not satisfied with Prempro as I was with Enjuvia. I am still having hot flashes and am still experiencing vaginal dryness.

I have been on this drug for not long and now my gallbaldder has gone bad on me having to have surgery to take it out .

In two words: Weight gain.

My Gyn put me on prempro about 9 months ago for severe pms symptoms. I am 47 now and each month I would have extremely heavy periods accompanied by all over joint pain, dizziness, headaches, nausea and unrelenting fatigue. My Dr had talked about other ways to reduce eliminate the heavy periods, but when I told her I was more concerned about feeling absolutely sick for half the month and having no energy the other half, she decided to try HRT. She said even if I had a hysterectomy,I would have to take some kind of HRT afterward. Since I've been on prempro, I've felt better physically than I have in 5 years. But the weight gain, severe cystic acne and depression are HORRIBLE. I'm so depressed about the weight gain and acne alone, but I'm also unmotivated, don't enjoy the things I used to, I'm lethargic and apathetic. Quality of life? Really? I have no life either way. I really don't know what else to do. I've tried everything else and prempro is the only thing that helped me feel not sick. Read More Read Less

Constipation, tenderness in breasts,does eliminate hot flashes.

Prempro caused weight gain, bloating, constipation, gas, fatigue, depression and sore breast. I would not recommend this drug to anyone.

I have been taking PrePro for about 4 years now after coming down with serious Perimenopause symptoms. Mood changes, hot flashes, and night sweats were a nightmare. The problem is the weight gain, 25 pounds, and bloating. I cannot lose it, even with eating healthy and going to the gym 5 days a week. This week I have started taking it every other day, hopefully this will help, as I slowly ween myself off of it!

I went into Early Menopause with a vengeance! I started taking Prempro on January 22, 2015. Within a week, it made most of the NUMEROUS symptoms much better (severe body temperature fluctuations, depression, vaginal dryness, insomnia, etc.). On the other hand, I've gained 8 lbs. in 6 weeks. I have started having sinus congestion (a side effect), my appetite is HUGE (with cravings), and my joints ache. The MD told me to cut the pills in half and try that for 2-3 weeks. If that doesn't continue to help the menopause symptoms and reduce the side effects. I will need to try something else.Read More Read Less
