Hi,

Thanks for the query.

Symptoms may be due to premarin. The tiredness and joint pain may be due to decreasing ovarian function so that now the dose of permarin is not sufficient. However since you have used it for a year now it is better to withdraw it gradually if you want to, maybe take alternate day and then increase the duration till completely stopping.

Also if the symptoms persist even after withdrawl, get evaluated for hypothyroidism. Also it would be better to see your physician for complete clinical examination as these symptoms are not specific and may be caused by many conditions.

Hope I was able to help you. Thanks for using Health Care Magic.
I would be happy to answer any further queries.
Have a nice day.
