Hi. I'm on my seventh month of gnrh drugs. Four of which have been Decapeptyl. I found it a lot better than the zoladex. Not as many hot flushes or dryness in areas I'd rather not be dry! My mood has been up and down with it but it's not been as awful as I expected. I had TPE surgery on Friday so only another 2 weeks before the drug starts to wear out of my system. I can't say I would want to take it long term- it's not been a picnic but a necessary treatment for me I think. You'll probably get a flare in symptoms to begin with but they will calm down. Good luck.
