Been on PROSTAP for nearly 6 weeks now in preparation for my hysterectomy and just lately I've been getting awful headaches. I get a lot of the pain at the base of my skull and sometimes behind my eye.. Is this a side affect of the drug I'm taking?? it's so draining.. 😢😢😢

Hi Heidi..

I am on week 7 of prostap.. 2 injections in and it's only the past 2 weeks I have started with ANY symptoms.

Mine started 2 weeks ago with headaches & neck pain, & now the hot sweats & night sweats have started.. I have noticed brain fog too..where I completely forget what I'm doing/saying in the middle of a conversation..

Apart from that I feel totally fine.. I am also on Livial tablets alongside the injections. I mentioned my side effects to my nurse who said these are all normal side effects for prostap. I have my final injection next week, and my consultant appt to see what happens next..

Just know you are not alone in this ☺ xx

Hi Heidi

I am on prostap injections too due for my 3rd injection on the 29th June.

I too am having really bad headaches brain fog hair loss day and night flushes achy bones terrible back pain to which i went to see my GP on Tuesday and he said this is all due to the injection,

The best thing about the injection at the moment it has stopped the periods.

Sorry i cant be any more help but i am hoping that all the side effects will soon disappear as i dont know how much longer i can put up with it.

Hope you feel a bit better soon.

Take care Sharon x

Hi ladies, I've been on prostap for 12 months now and I still have headaches, extreme tiredness and yes brain fog and people do give you the strangest of looks when you go blank on them lol I'm hoping my gynaecologist will make a decision on my surgery so that I can kiss goodbye to these awful injections xx
