Does Estrogen Withdrawal Possess Any Side Effect?

I am 81 years old. I had a hysterectomy complete when I was 48 years old and have been taking estrogen since then. Presently using Estrace Cream. Do you think I should stop taking all estrogens and go off all hormones? if so, what affects would I experience?
