Generic Name: Estrace for Postmenopausal Symptoms (estradiol)

Estrace for Postmenopausal Symptoms Reviews

"Love it, no hot flashes or mood changes and feel like having sex again. Breasts have enlarged but are not painful. Taking 1 mg tablets, hope I never have to give up my wonder pill. Have been taking it for years and I am 70 years old."


"Works great for vaginal atrophy. MD put me on 2 wks of 1mg nightly of vaginal estrace, followed by 1mg 2x a week. It's a bit messy so may opt for the Mona Lisa Touch laser for atrophy in the long run, but this does help greatly with lubrication and plumping atrophied vaginal tissues. I went into menopause at 30 due to surgical menopause so this made me feel more confident about myself sexually."


"Works well with mood swings and hot flashes. Side effects are not that great for me, I have dizziness and sore breasts, however, both seem to be dissipating as I go through my first month's doses."


"Works good but my co-pay with Insurance is very expensive."


"I'm on 3 hormones and this one I have allergic reaction to. Caused me migraines, made me feel like I had a cold, low grade temp and exacerbated my Fibromyalgia symptoms"


"The Estrace cream burned me so severely, I have open sores."
