Ok, I am off of my low dose estrogen pills per my gyno doctor, and taking the Evista pills each morning. Those are the ones that lessen the chance of breast cancer in people with higher than normal risk factors.

First, the pills are pricey, even with my insurance they are $120 for a 90 day supply.

Now, the side effects, they wake me up at night with not so much sweats but just active dreaming then it takes me up to an hour to get back to sleep.

I'm hoping that will decrease over time though, I have bad sleep patterns as it is.

I will need to take these pills for five years.
