Yes, I'm On Estrogens (Premarin) 0.3mg PO TAB. Was Using

Yes, I'm on Estrogens (Premarin) 0.3mg PO TAB. Was using Femring 0.5mg for last ten years. Did great!! Decided maybe I was finished with media pause and took myself off the Femring, but did tell my Primary Doctor. She was fine with it. She's not a GYN Doctor, just Family PA. Started having bad hot flashes. So I make appointment with Family PA. She prescribes Premarin 0.3mg to take 1 pill at bedtime. A week after taking the pill I started not sleeping hardly at all. Still getting night sweats, skin drying and mosisterizer helped a little, but still flackly skin on face, nose and chin areas. Very bad mood swings!!! Gained 15 pounds in three weeks. Bad depression, anxiety and panicky around large crowds. I do have COPD and take inhalers for that. My concern with all medications I'm on for depression, anxiety and panic attacks may or may not mix well with Premarin? I didn't ask Pharmist about that when receiving this Premarin. They do have a list of my medications at the Pharmacy that I use. Do you need a list of my medications to see if there maybe a reason for all these problems I having. I don't feel like my Primary PA can give me the answers correctly when I ask her. She is new at our Clinic here and she's just building up her list of patients.
