Is premarin really as shitty as people make it out to be? I was prescribed .625 mg, along with spiro and lupron shots, but apart from third world trannies, everybody says my endo is trying to kill me.

It's hard on the liver, harder than just about anything besides oral T. It's not going to kill you, but there's some evidence that it increases the risk of blood clots in older women.
Which you likely aren't, the main risks of DVT are really older transitioners.

Is it true that it's not as affective as other types of estrogen? I have to be on it for like 2 months more until I can change endo .

Yes.
That was what the mtfs got in the 40-70's or maybe even to the 90's.
At least in the like 60's, it was pretty common to die in your 30's or right before turning 30, of cancer. It's increases the risks of cancer an insane amount, I wouldn't be surprised if even half the patients ended up with tumors and cancer.

It's not bioidentical (probably why the cancer), so I imagine it's less effective too.

I think it's really that premarin is loaded up with all sorts of other shit in addition to estradiol.

Given that it's literally horse piss, it's gonna have whatever nasty medical byproducts the horse's kidneys and liver didn't get.
PREgnant MARe urINe.

I'm surprised your doctor is giving you lupron shots, the top tier, but then they give you premarin of all things.

It's part of why I'm asking around, because it seems weird to just prescribe it like that, there aren't any endos with trans experience in my city so I can't even get a second opinion.

From TERFs it's mostly a meme, when they talk about "dangers of HRT" they mean the danger that people would think gender variance isn't so bad.
Their list of dangers includes shit like "Lupron causing irreversible sterility" and one in a million side effects. FWIW, Premarin isn't anywhere near as dangerous if you're not fat and sedentary.
