Xtandi Side Effects and The BS of 4 Caps Per Day

[gusgold]

Casodex dosing is 50 mg - 100mg - 150mg...I read a paper where the maximum safe dose during trials many times becomes the rec'd dose. That does not means a lesser dose is ineffective. Look at the study below...they compared 160 mg of Xtandi to 50 mg of Casodex..right now I am on Xtandi/BAT ( 30 days on and 30 days off with a shot of T)...during my last off cycle with my T at 1000 my PSA went from <.1 to .4...I have my PSA checked monthly but because of a physical I had my PSA rechecked at 2 weeks...knowing I was going to have the PSA checked at 2 weeks after the .4 reading I tried an experiment...I dropped the Xtandi dose to 2 caps per day (this is after being off Xtandi for 30 days)...the PSA after 2 weeks came back at <.1...fast forward 4 weeks I just got a PSA test....<.1 after another month of 2 caps per day...I feel way better with none of the side effects of Xtandi 4 caps per day...my energy level is way up...pumping iron 2 hours a day 4 times a week and chasing the ladies again.

I'm curious where you got the protocol for Xtandi and BAT on and off every thirty days. This seems a little unconventional from what little I know, but it definitely sounds like it is working out well for you. Awesome!

Thanks,

same as with a human female...you have to distract them before jumping their bones...with a Lady Gator a 30 lb catfish works pretty good but be sure and jump off before she is through eating.

Thanks Gusgold for the information.I am on Xytiga and Pred now, but after the first three months, PSA went down from 12,8 to 4,2. My Oncologist thought this is good for mcrpc, and asked me to continue for three more months. He said at the next review he may change to Xtandi. It is good to know that reduced dosage works well too.

Hi Gusgold, very interesting.

Have you considered how this might affect your time to becoming CRPC? It may be keeping your PSA the same, but those little effing cancer cells might mutate a little quicker maybe?

I must point out here in the UK we don’t pay for our drugs, so it is of no consequence how long we can stretch them out by taking less. I can understand in the US, cost is a major issue, so reducing the amount taken halves the cost per month.

Good luck with that though, we need all the research we can get.

Cheers

I'm a bit dyslexic, did you say you're chasing iron and pumping ladies again?

Good Luck and Good Health.

Dr.'s oversubscribe out of ignorance. Cancer equals more drugs the better.
