I Have Been On Estrogen (Premarin) For The Past 15
I have been on estrogen (Premarin) for the past 15 years. My present Doctor refuses to authorize a refill. Since then, I have been feeling "out of sorts", my attitude has changed and I do not feel as lively since I am off the pill. I am 93 years old and have always been active, going yo dances and gardening. It's been about 2 months since I discontinued the pill. My primary care physician cited the side effects, which I had been aware of, but upon her suggestion I stopped taking Premarin. Should I begin again?
