I have joined the ranks of ADT. Specifically, Firmingon (Lupron after first month), Zytiga with Prednizone, Avodart. Since the results of the June 2017 STAMPEDE (I think) Trial, health insurance covers Zygota. Radiation to my 4 Iliac lymph nodes in 3 months. Chemo after that. At 13 months, I'm "off". At least, that's my plan now.

But what I would like to know from ADT "veterans" is; "How much wine can I drink"?

Regards,

Craig

What have you found as a workable schedule for the 4 tabs a day of Zytiga?

At breakfast it one prednizone. Mid morning (1 hour before meal or 2 hours after) I take the 4 tablets of Zytiga. Lunch it's the last prednizone. I've only been "on" the drugs a week. I think it's the prednizone that can cause sleep difficulties, so I try to get them all down early day. I am a bit more hyper (like a strong cup of coffee) than I was; and feel a bit stoned (not a bad feeling).

Incidentally, Zytiga may not have the gynecomastia (big tits) effect that Casodex has. Hope not.

I thought you spaced the tabs out. Glad to learn once daily. Thanks for the schedule

My doc seem to think it important to take all 4 Zytigas at once.

Must check out Patrick’s comments on the subject. If deciding to drink one’s Resveratrol, here’s a link about the Spanish Shania. twin cities wine.com/tag/shania. BotaBox’s Nighthawk Black doesn’t give headaches either and tastes okay. (Not a wine representative.)

Never heard of any issue with alcohol, other than the normal things.

Thanks Nalakrats!

I drink the same when I am in my castrate phase as in my high-testosterone phase. My liver processes alcohol quickly, so I drink more than I should.

My guess is that you will drink as much as you do now, but listen to your body.
