That is too bad. I'm on a very low dose and have absolutely NO side effects. No hot flashes (maybe a couple a year) and they help with my depression. My dr is always eager to prescribe for me because I'm doing so well on them. Best thing I ever did. The main reason I'm on them is because of osteoporosis. My grandma died from it. Mom has it and I have osteopenia (the beginnings of osteoporosis) and I'm only 53. I had a bone scan and showed problems...the dr put me on prempro 2 years later rescanned and my bones showed marked improvement. I'm not taking any chances!!
