Zoladex and migraine

2 Replies

I've been on Zoladex for the last six months, with very few side effects.  However, I had my first migraine last week and still have a headache. I am guilty of blaming everything on endo, but also know it might not be related at all. Has anyone else experienced headaches after months of nothing? What was the outcome?

I don't know if this will particularly help but I have been on Zoladex for 2 months. I have had migraines that have lasted a week (!!!) about a week after each injection. I suffer from them anyway although not usually this frequently or for so long. My consultant said that Zol wouldn't affect my migraines but my GP so that migraines are very sensitive to changes in hormone levels so who knows!!! I've got my next injection on Wednesday so I'm hoping next month will be better. I guess everyone is different so yours could be linked xx

Thanks. I'm feeling sorry for you having this so frequently - there's no way I could cope on a regular basis! I'm back to gynae in a couple of weeks, so I guess it won't hurt for me to mention it. Fingers crossed for your next injection. x
