What Causes Increased Appetite Upon Reducing The Dosage Of Premarin?

I take prometrium 100mg, every day and premarin .325mg every other day. Since lowering the premarin I feel like I am always hungry, and am looking for more to eat, why? I was taking premarin .625 every other day, then weined lower since having to remove my left ovary, and fallopian tubes. because of pre ovarian cancer scare. Can I really be hungry because of the drastic drop in premarin? Should I lower my prometrium as well? Thank you, YYYY@YYYY
