To assess vasomotor and other menopausal symptoms before, one year later, again at trial closure and after stopping estrogens or placebo. The role of baseline symptoms and age was examined as was the frequency and determinants of hormone use and symptom management strategies after discontinuing conjugated equine estrogens or placebo. Intention-to-treat analyses of 10,739 postmenopausal women before and one year after randomization to conjugated equine estrogens (CEE) or placebo at 40 clinical centers, and a cohort analysis of participants (n=3496) who continued taking assigned study pills up to trial closure and completed symptom surveys shortly before (mean 7.4 + 1.1 years from baseline) and after stopping pills (mean 306 + 55 days after trial closure). Generalized linear regression modeled vasomotor symptoms, vaginal dryness, breast tenderness, pain/stiffness and mood swings, as a function of treatment assignment and baseline symptoms, before and after stopping study pills. Approximately one-third of participants reported at least one moderate-to-severe symptom at baseline. Fewer symptoms were reported with increasing age, except joint pain/stiffness, which was similar among age groups. At one year, hot flashes, night sweats and vaginal dryness were reduced by CEE, whereas, breast tenderness was increased. Breast tenderness was also significantly higher in the CEE group at trial closure. Post-stopping, vasomotor symptoms were reported by significantly more women who had reported symptoms at baseline, compared to those who had not, and by significantly more participants assigned to CEE (9.8%) versus placebo (3.2%); however, among women with no moderate or severe symptoms at baseline, over 5 times as many reported hot flashes after stopping CEE (7.2%) versus placebo (1.5%). CEE significantly reduced vasomotor symptoms and vaginal dryness in women with baseline symptoms, but increased breast tenderness. The likelihood of experiencing symptoms was significantly higher after stopping CEE than placebo regardless of baseline symptom status. These potential effects should be considered before initiating CEE to relieve menopausal symptoms.
