I had a total thyroidectomy with radical left neck dissection for thyroid cancer (mixed tumor papillary/follicular) in 1979 (age 29 years). I started taking synthroid following surgery. In 1981, I sadly underwent a hysterectomy with both ovaries removed (against my wishes. No cancer). I started taking Premarin at that time. Question: At age 59 years, I am extremely anxious to stop taking Premarin (Women's Health Initiative report). I believe that Premarin binds with the thyroid? I am having problems weaning off the Premarin (low energy, lethargy, hot flashes). Can someone please provide input, guidance, recommendations in weaning off Premarin?
