Stopped Taking Premarin. Have Hot Flushes, Vagueness And Concentration Difficulty. Solution?
Thank you, I have just ceased taking Premarin after many years. This was after reducing the dose to the lowest level.
However the symptoms of menopause have hit with a vengeance - extreme hot flushes, vagueness, lack of sleep and concentration difficulty. Could you please advise any way of coping with this unpleasant and difficult time. I am 69 fit and healthy otherwise

Hi,
This has occured due to the hormone withdrawal. You could re-start the premarin at the lowest possible dose again,if the symptoms are not tolerable. Other wise you can try and see if isoflavones help.Talk to your doctor.
