Fatigue and zitiga

I don't want to sound like a wimp but the extreme fatigue I'm experiencing with Zitiga is making me a zombie. Has anyone seen anything on reducing the dosage --by maybe 50%?? without raising PSA. Big Pharma certainly won't help.

take it with food to reduce dosage up to 75%.......consult with your doc

It’s just par for the after coarse of treatments.. I’ve felt like I was wearing a lead suit, my body felt like 500 lbs. I could lay down and sleep for a day .Then up to

eat then back to sleep for another day. I’ve gone in and out of that syndrome for 3yrs. Recently it’s getting better. Now it only happens once in a while instead of weekly. Helps to have someone prodding you to get your ass up and get moving. If I did not have my wife pushing me, I wouldn’t be here today and I’d probably Not do much..We have to keep our blood flowing.I think it will

Get better for you as it has for me.. My Stamina and strength have been demolished. If we give into chronic fatigue as a syndrome ,nothing good can happen. Keep truckin!

Sounds counter intuitive, but I’ve found the ONLY thing that keeps the fatigue away is regular exercise. I also work and have two young kids so this may help too.

I get the same from Xtandi. Doc reduced intake from 4 to 3 pills. It a little better but not much. If my psa is still going down on 3 ill drop to two pills as maintenance. Ive been pretty much debilitated from this stuff. Should have known because of what even Lupron did to me. Hope this helps!

Although it seems contradictory. I started with a lot of fatigue. But I started to try to walk a little each day. At this time, after 7 months of treatment, I am still walking an average of 6 millas per day. At this moment my fatigue is null.
