GOTT:
I have been taking Premarin for years and have had terrible night sweats. I stopped the medication and not only did my sweats stop, but my legs feel better and I can walk with ease.

DEAR READER:
I cannot speculate on why your sweating occurred, since one of Premarin’s purposes is to reduce the incidence of hot flashes. On the down side, leg cramps have been reported with its use. Perhaps your hormonal changes and long-term use of the product have played a role in your recent unpleasant symptoms. Listening to your own body is always important, as Nature tells you things if you just pay attention. The elimination of your night sweats and leg pain, signifies to me that you did the right thing in stopping the hormone replacement.
