I am 59 and have been taking Prempro since my mid 40s for peri-menopause and then menopause which I began at 50. I now take it every 3rd day. I tried to wean myself off of it when I participated in a study a few years ago that had me stop taking Prempro for the duration of the study. I was miserable. So I asked my PNP at the time what she thought and she had absolutely no concerns about my starting to take Prempro again. My current doctor has absolutely no concerns about it either and she is in agreement with my taking it every 3rd day. I have yearly mammograms and they are always normal. So for now I will continue to take Prempro as long as my doctor keeps prescribing it for me. I might try to push it out to every 4th day just to see if that makes any difference. Saves money on the prescription too!

Have any one had problems with their adrenal gland r/t prempro. I know it supplements hormones, but I've been off of it for about 6 months. Prior to getting off I experienced "sweating episodes" which I consulted an endrocinologist. Some of my levels were elevated and the doctor has ordered an MRI to see if I have any tumors on my "A gland". Will not know for a few weeks with my next appointment. Is this possibly connected to prempro. I was on it for approximately 10-15 years.

I am 43 years old and just started taking Prempro. As of today I has been on them 10 days. At this point I have a couple of good days then I feel horrible for about 3 days. How long before I regulate or should I already be calling my doctor? I just want to feel better soon!
