I was on premarin .625 for 17 years. I I finally weaned myself off and had terrible cramps and burning in my legs it was awful. I went back on the premarin and it took about 6 days for the symptoms to stop. I then tried a lower dose and the same symptoms came back. I couldn't sleep and it was unbearable. I went back up the higher dose and gave up. I then tried again this time weaning myself off the premarin and going on the bio identicals right away. My symptoms went away, however my Ob-gyn told me she would prefer me to stop them completely due to a history of breast cancer in the family. since that time which is around 2 years ago I still have the same pains in my legs, it is the same identical pain. Now I have had to revert to taking sleeping pills and anti anxiety drugs. I have decided now to try and natural estrogen formula like the phyto estrogens and see what happens.
