My father was involved in a research trial almost 10 years ago. He was commenced on both injection and oral Casodex . A part of the trial he There are links with early stage dementia and cognitive issues with Casodex. He had to discontinue same as he became psychotic. He was never the same man again.I have researched other hormones .
Hope you are ok.
I am not aware of the trial but I don't think it was Casodex that caused dementia. I was on Casodex for 5 years with not loss of mental capacity. I don't know what the injection was but you might look into that.
My husband was on Casodex for 2.5 years _because_ he already had cognitive impairment. We wished to avoid any precipitated decline that Lupron or Firmagon might cause. The suggestion for Casodex came from multiple members of this forum, two MOs in Orlando, and three ROs, one in Sarasota, one in Orlando, and one in Fort Pierce, FL. It has been 2 years since he stopped Casodex. We have noticed nothing other than the normal rate of decline. This goes to show how differently patients react to a common med.
Miss Diaz, Is your post a warning to us........... or do you need help?
Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.

I was on Casodex (only) for about 7 years. I suffered the usual SEs but found it tolerable. I had no cognitive issues.
I have ben on Casodex on and off but since I was also on other meds I can't say It was Casodex that did me in. I have severe loss of memory and even if I have no proof, I've always attributed to Luprn
After two years, My trial has now stopped working
Next line of treatment: too many options
Stop Casodex if on Lupron and Zytiga?
