Has anyone come off of zoladex and felt really run down?

I've been off of zoladex for a month now and I'm constantly being sick and feeling queasy all the time. Is this normal?

No it isn't normal for zoladex- which whould be practically gone from your system by now.

You should be feeling a lot better.

May be a winter bug you have picked up - there being so many floating around at this time of year. But if it hasn't cleared up in a week then next thing would be check if you have accidentally fallen pregnant - assuming there is any chance of that. The drug is not a contraceptive - so if at any stage you had unprotected sex without using a condom while on the drug there's a possibility that you may be pregnant in which case you need to speak to your GP as sadly this drug is known to cause birth defects among other medical complications.

If pregnancy is definitely not a possibility then being sick a lot needs to be investigated by the Docs. Are you still taking any other meds at all ? If yes - do any of them list sickness or nausea in their side effects?

Just trying to put forward a few suggestions.

Get Well Soon what ever the cause- hope you're recovered by x-mas and it was just a bug.
