You can take whatever painkillers you need with the zoladex as it isn't a painkiller, it's a different type of drug.

Yes what joreilly said is absolutely correct. I take both of these. Codeine can cause constipation so maybe take laxatives if that happens x

Thanks i was having such bad side effects from tibilene and zoladex i was scared. GP did call back about 3 am and said just take one 30 mg tablet so long as they were still in date. I think it's the tibilene causing the worst side effects.

Maybe ask to try Everol HRT patches instead of those tablets if they don't suit you xx

Thanks InspiredN tbh i am thinking of bailing on the zoladex idea altogether. I look like a ghost and feel like death warmed up.
